Abstract
Lipomas in the hand and neck region usually occur in the immediate subcutaneous tissue. Lipomas of the parapharyngeal space are very rare, only few cases have been reported in literature. We present the case of a left parapharyngeal space lipoma, in a 45-year old man, who presented in our hospital with a painless swelling in the neck. The relative rarity of such a tumor in this location, presenting features and management strategies were considered worth of presentation.
Keywords : Lipoma, Pharynx, Neoplasms, Neck, Subcutaneous Tissue.
