This is the first report to our knowledge of an intramuscular lipoma that arose in the masseter muscle. Excision biopsy under general anaesthesia showed that the mass could easily be separated from the surrounding soft tissues on the lateral side, but was firmly adherent to the muscle on the medial side, so complete excision required resection of part of the masseter. Histopathological examination showed that it was an intramuscular lipoma. Two years and 6 months postoperatively there was no evidence of recurrence.
