Abstract
The parotid gland lipomas are rare; they are located mainly in the superficial lobe. We report 3 cases of parotid lipomas whose diagnosis was suspected by tomodensitometry and confirmed by histology. Treatment was a superficial parotidectomy for two patients and enucleation for one patient. Parotid lipomas are located mainly in the superficial lobe. The diagnosis is based on imaging, but only histology can confirm. The treatment of superficial lipomas is based on superficial lobe parotidectomy but sometimes enucleation could be enough. In all cases, the recurrence rate is very low
