[Rare localization of lipoma in the parotid region: about a case]
Abstract
Lipomas localization in the parotid region is very rare. We here report a new case of a 55-year old patient, presenting with a mass in the parotid region that had progressed over the past 4 years and a literature review. A soft, mobile and painless mass was detected on palpation. The patient underwent imaging examinations (ultrasound and MRI), that enabled to retain the diagnosis of parotid lipoma. The patient decided to have conservative treatment.
La localisation des lipomes au niveau parotidien est très rare. Nous rapportons un nouveau cas avec une revue de littérature concernant un patient de 55 ans, qui a consulté pour une masse au niveau de la région parotidienne évoluant depuis quatre ans. À la palpation nous avons trouvé une formation de consistance molle, mobile et indolore. Le patient a bénéficié par la suite d'une imagerie (échographie et IRM), d'où le diagnostic final d'un lipome parotidien a été retenu ; le traitement était conservateur sur le choix du patient.
Keywords: IRM cérébrale; Lipome; parotide.
