Lipoma in the deep lobe of the parotid gland: magnetic resonance imaging findings

Giant lipoma arising from deep lobe of the parotid gland

BACKGROUND Lipomas are common benign soft tissue neoplasms but they are found very rarely in the deep lobe of parotid gland. Surgical intervention in these tumors is challenging because of the proximity of the facial nerve, and thus knowledge of the anatomy and meticulous surgical technique are essential. CASE PRESENTATION A 71-year-old female presented with a large asymptomatic mass, which h...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Vermian Lipoma

Magnetic resonance imaging findings in cardiac lipoma.

Cardiac lipomas are exceedingly rare benign tumors of the heart. They are usually asymptomatic. Occasionally, they are found on MRI as an incidental finding. We report a case of a 68-year-old woman who presented with shortness of breath. Transoesophageal echocardiography depicted a cardiac mass lesion. The diagnosis of an intracardiac lipoma was confirmed by characterization of this mass with M...

Lipoma in the deep lobe of the parotid gland: a case report.

We report here on a rare case of lipoma in the deep lobe of the parotid gland. MRI revealed that the tumour was situated mainly in the deep lobe and it extended posteriorly and medially into the space between the sternocleidomastoid muscle and the posterior belly of the digastric muscle, with slight extension into the parapharyngeal space. This tumour produced strong signals on T1- and T2-weigh...
