Painless, slowly growing, soft submandibular mass measuring about 8 x 6 cm.
The mass is well defined and can be easily moved on palpation.
The marginal mandibular branch of the right facial nerve was identified and a well encapsulated lipoma was dissected away from the submandibular gland and the surrounding structures.
The ground lead of the facial nerve monitor is seen below the retractors.
