title: A case of subfascial lipoma in the lateral space of neck: US and CT findings.
abstract: Lipomas in the head and neck region usually occur in the immediate subcutaneous tissue. They are extremely rare under the muscular band of neck. We present a case of a 53-year-old woman with a subfascial lipoma located in the anterior lateral space of neck. The diagnosis of the lesion was reached by clinical examination and confirmed by ultrasonography (US) and computed tomography (CT) imaging. The lesion with surrounding capsule formation and lipofibromatous changes underwent open surgery.
