Abstract
Sialolipoma which is composed of adipocyte cells and glandular tissue is a rare salivary gland tumor. Sialolipomas can be found in the major and minor salivary glands but most commonly in the parotid gland. Sixty year old male presented with a painless, buccal mass, which had been growing slowly over two year. On physical examination a soft mass was detected on parotid gland. On ultrasonography examination 4×3×2 cm sized hypoechoic mass with limited lobulated contours was detected in the right parotid gland. Lesion had been excised totally. According to microscopic examination; the diagnosis was sialolipoma. Sialolipoma is a rare variant of salivary gland tumors and it should be kept in mind for differential diagnosis of buccal masses. © 2017 by Türkiye Klinikleri.
