title: Lipoma of the deep lobe of parotid gland - a case report and review of literature.
abstract: Lipoma of deep lobe of parotid gland is a rare clinical entity. Less than 10 cases have been reported in the literature in our knowledge. Because of their rarity, they are not often considered in the differential diagnosis of parotid tumors. A case of 45-year-old man with an unusually large deep lobe lipoma of parotid gland is presented in this article which was surgically managed by total conservative parotidectmy. The clinical picture, radiological and histopathological features of this entity is being discussed here. Review of literature of this clinical situation has been presented in the present article.
