“…The MRI was the best diagnostic technique for determining the characteristics of the tumor margin and the involvement of the surrounding tissues since it supplied all the information needed for either diagnosis or preoperative planning. 3,8,15 Deep parotid lobe lipomas are highly uncommon and difficult to treat; this requires meticulous dissection of the facial nerve's branches. 1,17 Different surgical methods are used based on the topography, tumor size, pathology, and relationship to the surrounding areas.…”

“…Preoperative imaging for a case of lipoma usually comprises either a USG or MRI scan. 2 15 A USG is an affordable, nonionizing modality that can be used as an initial study to evaluate superficial lesions of the parotid glands and can provide a rapid and accurate diagnosis of lipoma. 15 16 On a sonogram, it is possible to recognize an elliptical mass parallel to the skin's surface that is hyperechoic in comparison to surrounding muscle and contains linear echogenic lines that are parallel to the ultrasound beam.…”

Lipoma in Parotid Gland: A Rare Case Report

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Lipoma is a benign, rare, mesenchymal tumor found in the head and neck region, especially in the parotid gland. It thus requires a careful and precise examination to establish a diagnosis. A surgical procedure of the parotid gland is challenging due to the associated risk factor of facial nerve injury. We report a rare case of head and neck region lipoma between the superficial and deep lobe of the parotid gland. A 44-year-old female patient was presented with the chief complaint of a painless lump on the left front ear to the left cheek for about 1 year. There were no complaints of tooth pain before the lump appeared, and there were no lumps in other regions. A fine-needle aspiration biopsy, ultrasonography, and magnetic resonance imaging were all performed to establish the preoperative diagnosis and to plan the correct surgical approach. Lipoma was the initial clinical diagnosis, and a surgical excision with superficial parotidectomy and facialis nerve preservation was performed. Follow-up examinations were conducted to assess any facial nerve injury complications. Conclusion Lipoma rarely grows in the parotid gland. Careful diagnosis should be performed to establish a precise surgery for parotid dissection and facial nerve preservation.

“…For the masses in the salivary glands area, sialography, US, and radionuclide scanning are all of value [ 7 ]. US can give a clear and fast diagnosis of lipoma [ 8 ]. It can be used as the initial study and shows a homogenous lesion that can be ovoid or lobulated [ 1 ].…”

“…Lipomas are hypoechoic relative to the adjacent muscle and contain linear echoic lines with no distal enhancement or attenuation. In most cases, they have a clearly identified capsule [ 8 ]. In order to determine whether the mass has a glandular origin, the radionuclide scan or the sialogram are usually performed.…”

Lipomas are common benign tumors usually detected on the torso, neck, upper thighs, and upper arms. However, they are rarely found in the parotid gland region. Because of their rarity at this site, they are not often considered in the differential diagnosis of parotid tumors. This report describes a rare case of a lipoma in the superficial lobe of parotid gland. A 71-year-old female patient admitted to our department complaining about swelling and pain in the posterior area of the left mandibular region since one month. Her medical history included mastectomy after breast CA fifteen years ago. Clinical examination revealed a smooth-surfaced, soft, and painful mass, with well-defined margins in the left mandibular region. Differential diagnosis of metastasis, inflammatory neck swellings, and benign salivary gland tumors were considered for the patient. Advanced imaging methods such as ultrasonography and contrast tomography revealed that the lesion was a lipoma of parotid gland. A surgical intervention under general anesthesia was planned for the removal of the mass; however patient refused the surgical treatment. Patient was placed on six-month periodic recall. This article reviews the radiographic appearance and differential diagnoses of lipoma in this rare location.

We report on a very rare case of iceberg tumor. A giant lipoma arising from the deep lobe of the parotid gland led to an infraauricular mass and tonsil protrusion. After appropriate imaging (ultrasound and MRI) surgical resection was performed. Tonsil protrusions require differential diagnostic evaluation. Apart from the most prevalent parotid gland tumors, like pleomorphic adenoma and cystadenolymphoma, one must consider rare lipomas. Malignancy (e.g. liposarcoma) can only be excluded by histological examination of the whole specimen.
