Pelvic lipomas, particularly when massive in size, present unique surgical challenges due to their intricate anatomical location and proximity to vital structures. Complete resection of tumor is the basic principle. In this case, we demonstrated the complete resection of a huge pelvic lipoma by laparoscopy combined with a transsacral approach, which was rarely reported in the relevant literature. According to our case, a two-step abdomino-parasacral approach provides more flexibility, but also a safe and easier dissection in deep pelvic.
