Abstract
Lipoma is a benign entity with a poor incidence in craniofacial region. The most frequent tumors in the maxillo pharyngeal space are those that occur in the major and minor salivary glands, with a higher incidence of pleomorphic adenoma, also consider a benign entity.
The transmandibular approach offers a great advantage in terms of visibility during the surgery. Achieving a lower morbidity, due to the fact that anatomic structures of anterior (prestyloid) and posterior (retrostyloid) compartments are involved.
Our case report has important implications: clinical, pathologic and surgical, with a good prognosis for life and good for function at 2 year of postoperatively without any recurrence reported.
