Lipoma; a rarity in the oral cavity: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lipomas are rare, benign tumours of mesenchymal origin, representing 1 – 5% of all benign oral tumors. Clinically, intraoral lipomas present as slow growing, soft, asymptomatic mass. Histopathologically, they are composed predominantly of mature adipocytes admixed with collagenous tissue and may be surrounded by a thin fibrous capsule. Their diagnostic importance lies in the distinction from other benign connective tissue lesions, salivary gland neoplasms and liposarcomas. Complete surgical excision is the treatment of choice and recurrence is rare. Here we report a case of intraoral lipoma in the buccal mucosa.
