Description
Summary:	The authors report two cases of giants lipomas in the gluteal region with 3,9 and 3,1 kg. They make a brief epidemiological presentation and consider diagnosis and treatment.

They are against biopsies and lipoaspiration but stand up for the total exeresis as the best option of treatment.
