Parotid lipomatosis is a rare, slow-growing parotid gland tumor. Early diagnosis with imaging and long-term follow-up are crucial due to potential recurrence after surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Pathology
  • Diagnostic Imaging
  • Head and Neck Surgery

Background:

  • Parotid lipomatosis is an uncommon benign tumor of the parotid gland.
  • It presents as a slow-growing, painless mass in the parotid region.
  • Differential diagnosis includes other parotid tumors and salivary gland lesions.

Observation:

  • A case of parotid lipomatosis is presented.
  • The clinical presentation and diagnostic imaging findings are reviewed.
  • Literature on parotid lipomatosis is discussed.

Findings:

  • Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can aid in preoperative diagnosis.
  • Histopathological examination confirms the diagnosis of lipomatosis.
  • Recurrence can occur even after complete surgical excision.

Implications:

  • Accurate preoperative diagnosis can guide surgical planning.
  • Long-term clinical surveillance is essential for detecting recurrence.
  • Understanding the behavior of parotid lipomatosis improves patient management.
