“…In contrary to the present case, an observed left sided preference had been reported [8]. The diagnosis of haemangioma in salivary glands, especially in adults are quite difficult, as these lesions are rare and no confirmative non-invasive investigation exists [9]. Plain X ray may show multiple calcified phelebolith while ultrasonography may reveal heterogeneous, hypoechoic lesions with calcified pheleboliths.…”

The majority of swellings in the parotid region are sialadenitis, neoplastic lesion or lymph node. Vascular malformation is a rare cause of swelling of the parotid gland. Parotid heamangioma usually presents as a cystic swelling in the preauricular area but may mimic sialadenitis making the diagnosis difficult. We are reporting, to our knowledge, the first case of parotid gland heamangioma with its clinical presentation, radiological and surgical features which extended medially to the temporomandibular joint. The rarity of such condition in head and neck region and misdiagnosis or failing to diagnose make this case more interesting to the maxillofacial surgeon.

“…13,14 Also, the margin of a lipoma is clearly defined by MRI as a 'black rim', enabling lipomas to be distinguished from surrounding adipose tissue, a distinction that cannot be made from CT images. 15 Comparing the MRI and CT scan in diagnosis of parotid lipoma, the computed tomography (CT) scan is an accurate and cost effective preoperative diagnostic method.…”

“…To date, to our knowledge, only 6 of such cases have been described [2][3][4][5][6][7] . Of these lesions, 2 involved both the superfi cial and deep portions of the parotid gland [2,3] , and 1 extended into the parapharyngeal space [5] , resembling our patients. The remaining 3 only involved the deep lobe [4,6,7] .…”

“…The reported deep-lobe parotid lipomas were all excised by means of superfi cial parotidectomy [2][3][4][5][6][7] . In parotid gland lipomas with extension into the parapharyngeal space, this procedure was followed by a transcervical approach for tumour removal [5] . All patients had an uneventful recovery with normal facial nerve function.…”

Since lipomas are common soft-tissue neoplasms in other regions of the body, they are found only rarely in the parotid gland and are, therefore, often not considered in the initial differential diagnosis of parotid gland tumours. Even rarer are lipomas arising in the deep lobe of the parotid gland with only 6 cases presented in the literature. Lipomas originating in the parapharyngeal space are also extremely rare. When there is any suspicion, computed tomography and especially magnetic resonance imaging are of high diagnostic value. Fine-needle aspiration cytology seems not to contribute much to an accurate diagnosis. None of these preoperative examinations allows an absolute reliable distinction between a lipoma and a liposarcoma. The preferred treatment is complete surgical excision which will minimize the possibility of a recurrence and will also lead to a definitive diagnosis. We report 3 patients with a lipoma of the deep lobe of the parotid gland, extending into the parapharyngeal space, and discuss differential diagnosis and radiological features of lipomas in this rare location.
