Abstract

This case report describes a lipoma that appeared as a parotid gland tumor. The lipoma is an asymptomatic, slow-growing, nontender mass. This lesion is rare at this site and exhibits no unique clinical features. There is no reliable method of establishing a preoperative diagnosis; therefore, the lesion should be included as a rare possibility in the differential diagnosis of tumors involving the parotid gland. The treatment of choice is surgical excision, and recurrence is rare.
