Abstract
Lipomas are common soft tissue neoplasms. They are rarely seen in parotid gland, often not considered in the initial differential diagnosis of parotid gland tumors. Lipomas account for 0.6% to 4.4% of all parotid tumors. Superficial lobe is common site of origin in parotid gland with only rare reports from deep lobe. When there is any suspicion, imaging studies are of high diagnostic value. We present a case of parotid lipoma involving the deep and superficial lobes of the parotid gland. Computed tomography (CT) and ultrasound were performed in radiological diagnosis. Findings were confirmed by fine needle aspiration cytology.
Keywords : Biopsy, Diagnosis, Lipoma, Parotid Gland, Parotid Neoplasms.
