Parapharyngeal Lipoma Extending to Skull Base: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Lipomas in the head and neck region usually occur in the immediate subcutaneous tissue. They are extremely rare in the parapharyngeal space. A rare case of a right parapharyngeal space lipoma extending to skull base in an 18-year-old male is reported. The literature is reviewed and the characteristics of disease are discussed.
