Benign tumor of the liver is extremely uncommon compared with malignant tumor of the liver. It is rare to be detected during life because most of them are asymptomatic. But recently, it has been detected more frequently due to advanced radiographc diagnostic modality. We experienced a case of giant lipoma of the liver associated with lipoma of the colon and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Only 16 cases of lipoma of the liver pathologically proved have been reported in the worldwide lterature.
