Abstract: Lipomas are common mesenchymal tumours; however, their occurrence in the head and neck region is relatively rare and account for only 15% - 25% of all lipomas. Lipomas of the parotid region are even more uncommon, representing only about 1.0% -1.3% of all parotid tumours, and are often not included in the initial differential diagnosis of benign parotid tumours. Usually, a soft, non-tender, well-circumscribed tumour of the parotid gland in an elderly man is considered a Warthin’s tumour unless proven otherwise by histopathological examination.

Abstract: The authors of this study recently observed that the dental implant success rates decrease in patients with COVID-19 disease after dental implant surgery. In a group of 14 patients, 85 dental implants were placed, and 4 of the implants were failed. It was observed that all the patients with failed implants had a positive COVID-19 test 4-6 weeks after the surgery. Six of the 14 patients were affected by COVID-19 and 4 out of 42 implants applied to these patients were failed. All implants were placed by the same surgeon using the same brand of an implant with appropriate primary stability. Only one of these patients had pain during the recovery period, but all other 5 patients with implant failure have no symptoms.
