ABSTRACT

The authors present a case of parotid gland lipoma. They underline the clinical features, the unusual finding of it in the parotid lodge and the relationship with the surrounding tissues. After having shown the nosologic pattern of this neoplasm they underline the importance of the instrumental investigations by means of ET, TC and RM, that lead to a nearly sure pre-surgery diagnosis.
