Abstract:
An intramuscular lipoma within the musculature of the head and neck is unusual. Most of them are infiltrating lipomas, and we know of no description of a well-circumscribed lipoma of the temporalis muscle. We present a 64-year-old woman who had a non-pulsatile, soft, mobile mass in the right temporal fossa. The lesion 11 x 8 x 3 cm in size was diagnosed using magnetic resonance imaging, it was resected, and she has recovered well with a good cosmetic result.
