Article Abstract
Lipomas are benign and very common subcutaneous tumors of adipose tissue, which may occur anywhere in the body. Lipomas in head and neck regions are extremely rare. A giant neck lipoma is classified as a lesion greater than 10 cm in one dimension or weighing more than 1000 g. In this case report and review of the literature, a 66-year-old male with likely diagnosis of neck lipoma was under 5-year surveillance prior to development of giant neck lipoma. Computed tomography provided critical insight in the extent of neck mass in relation to surrounding structures in assessing possibility of malignancy and in guiding appropriate management.

Lipomas are benign neoplasms originating from mesenchymal soft tissue, primarily composed of mature adipocytes and surrounded by a fibrous capsule. While they are relatively common in the head and neck region, oral cavity involvement is rare. Fibrolipoma (FL) is a variant characterized by lobules of adipocytes with dense collagen bands.

Lipomas are mesenchymal neoplasms that affect the head and neck region in about 13% of cases. However, they are rarely reported in the pediatric population. We here report the case of a 6-month-old infant with no notable medical history, admitted for the management of a large left lateral cervical mass that had been progressing for 4 months.

: Lipomas, benign tumors composed of adipose tissue, are recognized as one of the two most common fat-containing soft tissue tumors, underscoring their relative prevalence among benign tumors in children. Despite their prominence, lipomas rarely occur before 20 years of age, highlighting a discrepancy between their commonality and the age at which they typically manifest. This case report focuses on a 11-year-old patient who noticed the presence of an intraoral mass, which prompted further investigation, ultimately leading to the diagnosis of a lipoma located on the palate.

Introduction: Parapharyngeal space tumours (PSTs) can be challenging to manage in view of their distinct location and proximity to vital neurovascular structures. Numerous surgical approaches have been described including minimally invasive techniques utilising transoral robotic surgery (TORS). This study aims to evaluate the role of TORS in the management of PSTs with a special focus on quality of life (QoL) outcomes.

A previously well man presented with high dysphagia secondary to an upper oesophageal lipoma, which periodically prolapsed retrograde into the hypopharynx and supraglottis. When confined to the oesophagus, the lesion caused mild dysphagia only and could not be identified on oesophagoscopy. However, supraglottic herniation of the lesion led to acute aphagia and airway obstruction, eventually necessitating a local anaesthetic tracheostomy.
