Intraoral Lipoma : a Case Report and Review of Literature
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lipoma is a rare benign tumor of adipose tissue in the oral cavity. It accounts for 1 to 4% of benign neoplasms affecting predominantly the buccal mucosa, floor of mouth and tongue. We report a case of intraoral lipoma in buccal mucosa. The clinical presentation is a painless yellowish mass. The usual lesions consist of a well circumscribed, lobulated mass of mature fat cells. In other situations the covering mucosa becomes ulcerated and presents difficulties in diagnosis. They have been known to grow to large sizes causing mastication and speech difficulties. An excisional biopsy was done and histopathological examination revealed proliferation of mature adipocytes arranged in lobules and separated by fibrous septa.
