Pleomorphic lipoma of the parotid gland.
Lipomata are rare tumours of the parotid gland. The pleomorphic lipoma represents an unusual histological variant of the benign lipoma. We report a case of a pleomorphic lipoma arising in the parotid gland. Only one case of a similar nature has previously been recorded. This tumour is benign, was fully excised and recurrence is not expected.
