A literature review of the osteolipoma of the oral cavity and pharyngeal region is also presented. In this localization study, 14 well-documented cases could be found in English-language literature, in which the mean age of patients was 50.6 years, and slight predilection for male gender could be identified. The majority of cases appeared in the oral cavity (67 %). The data demonstrated that osteolipoma of the oral cavity and pharyngeal region is an asymptomatic (80 %) lesion without bone attachment (80 %). The size of the lesions ranged from 8 to 90 mm in diameter (mean = 36 mm), with an evolution time ranging from 1 to 35 years (mean = 7.7 years). Similar to the present case, no recurrence could be identified in works which reported on the follow-up period.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
