Abstract
Lipomas are benign tumors of soft tissues, primarily consisting of adipose tissue, and are extremely rare within the parotid gland. They are seldom included in the differential diagnosis of parotid tumors. These tumors grow slowly, are frequently asymptomatic, and are often difficult to diagnose clinically. Nonetheless, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) remains the most effective diagnostic tool for guiding the diagnosis. The primary treatment for these tumors is complete surgical removal, which minimizes the risk of recurrence and confirms the diagnosis.
