Clinical examination showed a soft movable mass approximately 6 cm × 5 cm in size. Ultrasound imaging revealed a hypoecho nodule []. The gross specimen was 5 × 4 × 3 in size. The lesion was removed by superficial parotidectomy under general anesthesia.

The ratio of mature adipose tissue to salivary gland tissue was 1:3 []. Eight-month follow-up after surgery showed no sign of recurrence.
