Fibrolipoma of the oral mucosa: A review of literature
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 9
Abstract
Abstract: Lipoma is a most common mesenchymal tumor of fat cells, but it is uncommon in the oral cavity and oropharynx. Lipoma at the intraoral locations consists of 1 to 5 % of all neoplasms of the oral cavity. The bland pathologic appearance and recurrence absence supports the benign nature of the lipomas. Fibrolipoma is a rare histological variant of the lipoma. Clinicians must be aware of such rare lesions as a wide array of lesions comes into differential diagnosis of these lesions. Keywords: Benign mesenchymal tumor, Fibrolipoma, Lipoma
