Facial palsy in the presence of ipsilateral parotid tumour is considered to be pathognomonic of malignancy. However, benign neoplasms and inflammatory lesions of the parotid gland have been reported to present with facial palsy. A case of lipoma of the parotid gland associated with partial facial paralysis is reported. Lipomas are very rarely seen in this site.

This report highlights the difficulties in pre-operative diagnosis and management of such a lesion.

Article Synopsis
- Lipomas are benign tumors made up of fat tissue, and while they are the most common type of mesenchymal tumor, they are rare in the oral and maxillofacial regions.
- This study focuses on a unique case of a large lipoma found in the buccal space of a 38-year-old obese male, who had been experiencing a non-painful cheek swelling that grew over four years.
- The lipoma was successfully removed via an intraoral approach, measured 7.0 cm × 5.3 cm × 1.6 cm, and did not show any signs of recurrence after histopathology confirmed the diagnosis.
