Popis: Sialolipoma is a rare tumour found within both major and minor salivary glands. A total of 35 sialolipoma cases have been reported 18 within major salivary gland and 17 within minor salivary gland. Major gland sialolipoma most often are presented in the parotid gland (77%) and those from minor salivary glands were often seen in the palate (41%). All lesions were well circumscribed and contained mature adipose tissue admixed with benign salivary gland component. Treatment is surgical excision. We report a case of 52 years old male who presented with the complaint of swelling in the left parotid region for 22 years duration. Apart from cosmetic reason he has no other complain. All specific investigations done were inconclusive and suggested a benign tumor. Histopathological examination after superficial parotidectomy suggested sialolipoma.
