Abstract
Parapharyngeal space (PPS) tumors constitute only 0.5%–0.8% of all tumors of which lipoma is the rarest. In general, lipoma is found just beneath the subcutaneous tissues. Here, we present a case of a 2-year-old female child with lipoma of the right PPS extending into the neck mimicking cystic hygroma on presentation.
