Lipomas, one of the commonest soft tissue tumours encountered in surgical OPD’s and liposarcomas are malignant tumours which may mimic the former. Here we present a case report of a 55 years old female who presented with a slow and progressively growing tumour over her right upper limb which was compressible and provided no pain or discomfort mimicking a hemangioma.
