Abstract
This report describes a very rare case of deep lobe parotid lipoma with a brief discussion on the diagnosis and surgical treatment of the lesion. We advocate that CT and MRI are high diagnostic value for parotid lipoma, and that isolated deep parotidectomy without superficial parotidectomy is indicated if lipoma can be confirmed by the preoperative imaging diagnosis.
