Lipomas in the head and neck region are uncommon. Rarely, they can develop in the parotid gland with reported incidence ranges from 0,6 to 4,4% among parotid tumors. The deep lobe of parotid gland lipoma is even rarer clinical entity. They are mostly a painless, asymptomatic and slow growing swelling. Because of their rarity, they are not often considered in the differential diagnosis of parotid tumors. Therefore, surgical management of lipomas in the parotid gland is controversial.In this article we described a case of giant lipoma arising from the deep lobe of the parotid gland and also extended to the parapharyngeal space.

Anahtar Kelimeler

Lipoma, parotid gland, deep lobe, parapharyngeal space.
