Osteolipoma is a benign neoplasm originating from the mesenchymal fat tissue cells and characterized by the presence of bone formation. In the head and neck district osteolipoma has been described as parapharyngeal, nasopharinx, submandibular gland, eyelid, floor of the mouth, and skull base lesion. Only 1 case of osteolipoma was reported as a neoplasm of the parotid region. Considering the rarity of the osteolipoma, our purpose was to describe the first case of totally intraparotid gland localization of osteolipoma and summarize and review the actual literature concerning the presence of this tumor in the region of major salivary glands. A 56-years-old male patient was treated for intraparotid osteolipoma. Surgical removal of tumor was done with a standard preauricular/cervical incision and blunt dissection. The facial nerve was identified and preserved completely. In the reviewed series, all cases were reported in adult patients with a relative long history of slow progression. According to our paper and the review of the literature, we can assess that Osteolipoma is an extremely rare lesion affecting the major salivary glands, which should be considered along with common salivary gland tumors in the differential diagnosis.
骨脂瘤是一种起源于间叶脂肪组织细胞的良性肿瘤，其特征是存在骨形成。在头颈部，骨脂瘤已被描述为咽旁、鼻咽、下颌下腺、眼睑、口底和颅底病变。仅有 1 例骨脂瘤被报道为腮腺区的肿瘤。鉴于骨脂瘤的罕见性，我们的目的是描述首例完全位于腮腺内的骨脂瘤，并总结和回顾有关大涎腺区域存在该肿瘤的现有文献。一名 56 岁男性患者因腮腺内骨脂瘤接受治疗。通过标准的耳前/颈部切口和钝性解剖进行肿瘤切除。面神经被完全识别并保留。在回顾的系列中，所有病例均报告为成年患者，病史相对较长，进展缓慢。根据我们的论文和文献回顾，我们可以评估骨脂瘤是一种极其罕见的影响大涎腺的病变，在鉴别诊断中应与常见的涎腺肿瘤一起考虑。
