Abstract

We present a patient with a lipoma of the deep lobe of the parotid gland. Despite the common occurrence of this tumour in other regions of the body, we believe that this is only the second report in the literature of a lipoma in this location. We believe that these tumours are easily dealt with by simple enucleation, and that superficial parotidectomy should be reserved for tumours deep to the facial nerve.
