title: Parapharyngeal lipoma.
abstract: Lipomas of the parapharyngeal space provide both a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. They are extremely rare with only a few cases having been reported. We present the case of a right parapharyngeal space lipoma in a 69-year-old man that was excised via a transcervical approach.
