Lipomas are benign mesenchymal tumour. 13% of lipomas are seen in head and neck region1 . Anterior neck lipoma is a rare one & anterior neck lipoma with mediastinal extension is extremely rare. We are reporting a case of 55 yr. old male who presented with a huge swelling in the anterior neck region simulating a goitre or secondary neck. It was one of the largest of its own kind. FNAC & Sonography helps in making early diagnosis of lipoma apart from clinical examination. Enucleation of lipoma from neck as well as mediastinum was done & followed without any complication.
