Bilobed Sialolipoma of Parotid Gland A Rare Entity

Abstract

Lipoma is a common benign mesenchymal tumour arising from adipose tissue. Adipose tissue is present in parotid gland so lipoma can occur in this gland. It is a rare tumour with an incidence of 0.6% to 4.4% of all parotid tumours. History of trauma is the most common initiating factor narrated by patients. Huge and bilobed lipoma of parotid gland is extremely rare. A rare case report of bilobed sialolipoma of parotid gland in 52years female is presented. Magnetic resonance imaging and fine needle aspiration provided the accurate preoperative diagnosis. The surgical management for this bilobed sialolipoma was done by enucleation with no complication of facial nerve. There was no recurrence in follow up.
