• Giant lipoma
• Laparoscopy
• Parietal peritoneum
• Urinary frequency

Background: Lipomas are very common benign tumors of mature fatty tissue that can occur in any part of the body. However, lipomas of the parietal peritoneum are extremely rare.
Case presentation: A 36-year-old man presented with urinary frequency for 6 months. On computerized tomography of the abdomen and pelvis, a well-defined fatty mass measuring 20 x 11 x 6.5 cm in size, was found in the lower abdominal cavity. We performed a laparoscopic parietal-peritoneum-preserving excision of the mass. The patient was discharged without complications on post-operative day 6.
Conclusions: To our knowledge, a laparoscopic excision with preservation of the parietal peritoneum for a giant parietal peritoneal lipoma has never been reported. Herein, we report a case of a giant lipoma of the parietal peritoneum successfully managed by laparoscopy.
