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. To our knowledge, a lipoma of the parotid producing facial paralysis has not been described previously. This report highlights the difficulties in pre-operative diagnosis and management of such a lesion.
同侧腮腺肿瘤伴有面神经麻痹被认为是恶性肿瘤的特征性表现。然而，据报道腮腺的良性肿瘤和炎性病变也可出现面神经麻痹。本文报告一例腮腺脂肪瘤伴部分面神经麻痹的病例。脂肪瘤在该部位非常罕见。据我们所知，此前尚未有腮腺脂肪瘤导致面神经麻痹的报道。本报告强调了此类病变术前诊断和处理的困难。
