Lipoma is the most common neoplasm of mesenchymal origin. Only 13% of them arise in the head and neck region and most of these occur subcutaneously in the posterior neck. Rarely, they can develop from deeper planes in the anterior neck, infratemporal fossa, in or around the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, and parotid gland. Clinically, they can be confused with other benign lesions; however, CT and Ultrasonography allows a specific diagnosis to be made in virtually all cases. Here we present two cases of rare presentation of Head and Neck lipoma and the review of literature of such presentations.
