areas composed of fat.
Occurrence of lipoma is often sporadic and rarely inherited Case report: A 74 year old male presented with a left sided neck swelling which was gradually increasing in size over a duration of 10 years.
It was associated with intermittent pain 6 months prior to presentation.
Discussion: Lipoma is the commonest benign mesenchymal tumor and is a relatively uncommon presentation in the head and neck region.
Often a fine needle aspiration cytology is able to indicate the presence of a lipoma.
However, with the computed tomographic scan, the level of attenuation is able to indicate the presence of a lipoma.
Although benign, there are reports of malignant transformation to a liposarcoma.
Conclusion: Lipoma of the parotid gland is often mistaken for other tumors hence an accurate clinical assessment together with preoperative imaging and histopathological examination helps to facilitate the diagnosis
