A case of a 51‐year‐old woman with a lipoma‐like tumor on the right arm which showed rapid recurrence after the first simple excision is reported. On the second surgical operation, a lipoma‐like tumor with extensive growth between the biceps muscle and brachialis muscle of the right arm was noted. Histological examination revealed almost mature fat cells and scattered atypical lipoblast‐like cells. For the treatment of an atypical inter‐muscular lipoma, complete excision is necessary, although very extensive treatment is not recommended.
