Abstract
Lipomas are fairly common in head and neck but their presentation in areas like parapharyngeal space, submandibular space and lateral cervical region are rarely seen. These are mainly asymptomatic and mostly cause aesthetic concerns. Surgical excision remains the mainstay of treatment and surgical approach depends on the site and extent of the lesion. Radiological investigations like CECT and MRI play a vital role in diagnosis and management of these lesions. Here we describe a case series of 4 patients with lipomas in unusual regions of the head and neck, and their management.
