title: Lipoma of the parotid gland.
abstract: We describe three cases of parotid gland lipoma, a relatively rare, asymptomatic, slow growing, freely movable, soft tissue mass. Preoperative clinical diagnosis is generally difficult but MRI using fat saturation techniques provides accurate diagnostic information regarding this benign parotid gland tumor, enabling better treatment planning.
