Pedunculated lesions of the breast are usually benign conditions. They pose a clinical dilemma to the attending surgeon. Excision is the mainstay of treatment. A case of a pedunculated lipoma of the breast in a 52-year-old lady is presented. She underwent excision under general anesthesia. Histopathology revealed adult-type of adipocytes with no evidence of lipoblasts. There was no recurrence. Various types of pedunculated lesions of the breast, their diagnosis and management are discussed. Surgical excision is the mainstay of treatment. They have a low recurrence rate and are rarely malignant.
