We report two cases of lipoma of the parotid gland which present as a non-tender, freely movable and intraparotid mass. Lipomas are common soft tissue neoplasms but found very rarely in the parotid gland, and so are often not considered in the initial differential diagnosis of parotid gland tumor. We believe that these tumors are cured by simple excision, and thus superficial parotidectomy is enough for treatment.

A 58-year-old Chinese woman presented with deranged liver function tests, which was discovered incidentally during surveillance for statins therapy. Ultrasonography and computed tomography revealed a large lipoma originating from the greater omentum, which was treated with surgical resection. This case is reported due to the rare occurrence of omental lipomas.
