Parapharyngeal lipoma with skull base extension is rare tumor found in head and neck region. We report a case of 66 years old female patient with left side face swelling extending to neck. On clinical examination, it was found soft, non-tender, mobile swelling present over left side pre-auricular region. It was extending from pretragal area superiorly to left submandibular region inferiorly. CECT neck and fine needle aspiration cytology was done to know the benign nature of disease. It suggest tumor extending from skull base to C6 vertebral level in parapharyngeal space. Tumor was excised via Trans parotid-transcervical approach. Parapharyngeal lipomas are confined to either the prestyloid or post styloid compartments. We report an unusual parapharyngeal lipoma involving both the compartments of the parapharyngeal space.

Their management poses a challenge in terms of etiological diagnosis and adequate therapeutic approach. The clinical and especially the radiological examination have an important role not only for the diagnosis but also for the determination of the appropriate management and for the orientation towards the nature of the mass.
