Sialolipoma affecting the salivary glands is an uncommon lipoma variant composed of mature adipose tissue mixed with acinar, ductal, basal and myoepithelial cells of normal salivary gland. It has a wide age range at presentation. Generally, the major gland has male predilection while the minor gland has a female preponderance. A diagnostic workup requires CT or MRI to define the exact location and texture of the lesion. Surgical excision is recommended when the tumor progressively increases in size. Prognosis is good whereby no malignant transformation or recurrences has been reported.
Kimura disease is a rare, benign, chronic inflammatory disorder. Characteristic features of the disease include painless subcutaneous mass in the head and neck region, elevated serum eosinophilia and markedly raised serum immunoglobulin E. Herein, we report a case of Kimura disease in a patient who presented with a parotid mass and received both medical and surgical management. A course of high dose oral prednisolone and subsequently parotidectomy were the important elements of the management.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 04 No. 01 January’20 Page : 63-66
