“…Their etiology and pathogenesis are not clear, even though factors like mechanical, endocrine, inflammatory (6,8-10), hypercholesterolemia and obesity (11,12), radiation (11) as well as chromosomal abnormalities (3,9,13) have been considered. Histologically they can be classified as simple lipoma, fibrolipoma, spindle cell lipoma, intramuscular lipoma, chondrolipoma, pleomorphic lipoma, myxoid lipoma, angiolipoma and sialolipoma (3,6,14).…”

BackgroundLipomas are benign mesenchymal tumors composed of mature adipocytes. They are classified according to their histological pattern and their etiology remains unclear. Objectives: To present two cases and review the literature.Material and MethodsA search was conducted in the Medline / PubMed and Scielo data bases of the last 10 years (2004-2014) with the keywords “ intraoral lipoma OR oral cavity lipoma”.Results46 articles with 95 cases (56 women and 39 men) were reviewed. The average age was found to be 52.28 years (52.28 ± 18.55); and most of them occurred between the 4th and 6th decade of life. Lipomas occur mostly in the buccal mucosa (n = 36, 37.9%), followed by the tongue (n = 23, 24.2%) and other locations (n = 36, 37.9%). The most common histologic pattern was simple lipomas (n = 40, 42%), followed by fibrolipomas (n = 18, 18.9%) and other types (n = 37, 39.1%). The average tumor size was 19.77 ± 16.26mm.ConclusionsLipomas are a relatively rare finding in the oral cavity. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice and recurrence is not expected. Key words:Benign oral tumor, oral lipoma, lipoma, oral cavity.

“…No consensus exists till date regarding the pathogenesis of oral lipoma, where heredity, fatty degeneration, trauma, hormonal basis, infection, infarction, metaphase of muscle cells, lipoblastic embryonic cell nest in origin and chronic irritation are pleasable representative theories to elucidate the pattern of lipoma 6 7. The most common locations of lipoma in the oral cavity have been reported to be in the buccal mucosa followed by tongue,8 which is consistent with our two patients having the lesion in buccal mucosa.…”

“…The lipoma usually occurs as a solitary lesion that may be sessile, pedunculated or submerged 6. It ranges in size from a small lesion approximately 1 cm in diameter to a massive tumour of 5 cm×3 cm×2 cm in dimension.…”

Lipoma is a painless soft tissue tumour of the mesenchymal origin, which is slow growing and well circumscribed. The occurrence of lipoma is rare in the oral cavity (1-4%); however, the frequency is much higher in the head and neck region. The tumour is mostly present in the buccal mucosa, lips, tongue, palate, buccal sulcus and floor of the mouth. Sometimes the tumour becomes large enough to cause difficulty in speech and mastication. Histologically, lipoma is composed of mature fat cells, surrounded by normal fat. We present two cases of intraoral lipoma in two female patients.

“…O lipoma é um tumor benigno de crescimento lento, assintomático, com consistência de gordura. Por se tratar de neoplasia mesenquimal presente no corpo humano, localizam-se com mais frequência no tórax, nas costas, no abdômen e nos ombros 1,2,4 . No entanto, 20% desses tumores são encontrados em região de cabeça e pescoço, e somente cerca de 1 a 4% afetam a cavidade bucal 1,3,5 .…”

O lipoma é um tumor benigno de crescimento lento, assintomático, com consistência amolecida. Clinicamente, apresenta-se como massa nodular, pedunculada ou séssil, de aspecto gelatinoso com superfície lisa recoberta por mucosa bucal saudável. Apesar de comum em outras partes do corpo, esse tumor raramente acomete a cavidade bucal. Seu tratamento consiste na excisão cirúrgica, e apresenta raras recidivas, devido à presença de uma pseudocápsula que separa a lesão dos tecidos circunvizinhos. Objetivo: este trabalho objetiva relatar o caso clínico de um paciente com lipoma em região peterigomandibular, tratado com sucesso por excisão irúrgica. Relato de caso: paciente masculino, de 51 anos, relatou aparecimento de aumento de volume assintomático em região posterior da cavidade bucal, com evolução de aproximadamente 8 meses. Foi realizada biópsia excisional da lesão sob anestesia local, sem complicações. A suspeita diagnóstica de lipoma foi confirmada por meio de laudo histopatológico. Paciente encontra-se no vigésimo mês de pós-operatório, sem recidiva da lesão. Conclusão: por ser raro na região maxilofacial, o tumor, quando acomete a mucosa bucal, deve ser relatado na literatura. No caso descrito, a biópsia excisional, realizada em âmbito ambulatorial, mostrou-se eficaz no tratamento do lipoma em região peterigomandibular.
