| Abstract: | Lipoma is a benign neoplasm arising from mesenchymal tissue with unknown pathogenesis. A 51-year-old female patient presented with swelling in the left face, with 12 years of evolu tion. The extraoral physical examination revealed facial asym metry caused by a painless soft mass occupying part of parotid and masseteric region. Ultrasonography showed a solid mass in the subcutaneous tissue measuring 40 mm 40 mm 13.5 mm. The lesion was excised under general anesthesia with subman dibular approach. Histopathologic examination displayed a lobular proliferation of mature adipocytes circumscribed by a thin fibrous capsule, confirming the diagnosis of lipoma. During 1 year of follow-up no recurrence was detected. |
