Oral Lipoma
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 8
Abstract
Lipoma is a common tumour to be found over a body but intraoral lipomas are a rare clinical entity and represent only about 0.1 to 5% of all neoplasms of the oral cavity. The buccal mucosa, tongue, and floor of the mouth are among the common locations. The clinical presentation is typically as an asymptomatic mass. The overlying epithelium is intact, and superficial blood vessels are usually evident over the tumour. Histopathologically, lipomas are benign soft tissue neoplasm of mature adipose tissue. Hereby, we report two cases of intraoral lipoma, one close to floor of mouth and other over buccal mucosa. Lesions were excised surgically and didn’t show any recurrence.
