Abstract:
Lipoblastomas arising within the parotid gland and extending into the
infratemporal fossa are very rare. They are common in children <3 years of age.
Access to the tumour requires careful planning and interpretation of imaging
studies. Lipoblastomas tend to recur. Meticulous dissection of the tumour is
needed to prevent recurrence. By adopting the appropriate approach, complete
removal is possible with minimal morbidity.
