Summary

This study reports a rare case of parotid gland lipoma, a benign tumor. Simple enucleation is recommended for deep lobe parotid lipomas, avoiding extensive surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Head and neck surgery
  • Surgical oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Lipomas are common benign tumors, typically found in subcutaneous tissue.
  • Parotid gland tumors are diverse, with a majority being benign.
  • Lipomas of the parotid gland are exceptionally rare.

Observation:

  • A case of a lipoma originating from the deep lobe of the parotid gland is presented.
  • This represents the second documented instance of a parotid gland lipoma in medical literature.
  • The tumor was successfully managed with a minimally invasive approach.

Findings:

  • Lipomas in the deep lobe of the parotid gland are rare but treatable.
  • Simple enucleation is an effective and sufficient surgical method for these tumors.
  • Superficial parotidectomy is indicated only for tumors situated deep to the facial nerve.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering lipomas in the differential diagnosis of parotid gland masses.
  • Advocates for conservative surgical management (enucleation) for deep lobe parotid lipomas.
  • Provides guidance on surgical technique selection based on tumor location relative to the facial nerve.
