Large mass with homogeneous fat attenuation in the right parapharyngeal space, displacing the calcified internal carotid artery and protruding into the pharynx. Subfascial extension into the prevertebral musculature also seems to be present.

Lipoma is the most common benign tumor of the head and neck region. However, involvement of the deep neck compartments is rather exceptional.
