Abstract
Lipomas,
which are frequently encountered tumors of mesenchymal origin, typically appear
on the trunk and lower limbs. In the head and neck area, they commonly manifest
in the posterior neck but are seldom found in the anterior neck, infratemporal
fossa, oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, or parotid gland. A notable characteristic
is the infiltration and dissociation of adjacent muscle fibers, posing
challenges in differentiation from well-differentiated liposarcomas. Recurrence
rates are notably elevated. Imaging modalities such as CT, MRI, and
ultrasonography provide crucial diagnostic insights, often obviating the need
for histopathological confirmation of these lesions. In this case, we present
an instance of an lipoma involving the sub masseteric space in a 25-year-old
female patient, who presented with a progressively enlarging mass on the left
cheek.
