Parapharyngeal space lipomas are rare tumors presenting diagnostic and surgical challenges. This case report details the successful excision of a right parapharyngeal lipoma using a transcervical approach.

Area of Science:

  • Head and Neck Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Lipomas of the parapharyngeal space are rare benign tumors.
  • These tumors present significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to their location.
  • Few cases have been documented in medical literature.

Observation:

  • A case of a right parapharyngeal space lipoma in a 69-year-old male patient is presented.
  • The lipoma was identified as the cause of the patient's symptoms.
  • Diagnostic imaging confirmed the benign nature and location of the tumor.

Findings:

  • The parapharyngeal lipoma was successfully excised.
  • The transcervical surgical approach was utilized for removal.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of lipoma.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the feasibility of the transcervical approach for parapharyngeal lipoma excision.
  • It contributes to the limited body of literature on these rare tumors.
  • Effective surgical management can lead to favorable patient outcomes.
