“…Most cases of lipoma occur at 60 years of age or older, and are rare in children [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. In our study, the mean age of the patients was 59 years, with only one case being less than 40 years old.…”

“…The most common site of oral lipomas has been reported as the buccal mucosa, comprising 38.6 % of all cases, followed by the tongue, lip, floor of the mouth and buccal vestibule, palate and retromolar area, gingiva, and others [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Our study also revealed that the most common site was the buccal mucosa, followed by the tongue, lip, and oral floor, and obtained similar results.…”

“…It represents by far the most common mesenchymal neoplasm, and most cases occur on the trunk and proximal portions of the extremities; however, lipomas of the oral and maxillofacial region are rare [1]. Their overall incidence in the oral cavity is thought to be less than 4.4 % of all benign oral mesenchymal neoplasms [2-4, 7, 13], and was higher in previous study [5]. Oral lipomas may occur in various anatomical sites including the major salivary glands, buccal mucosa, lip, tongue, palate, and floor of the mouth.…”

Although lipomas are common soft tissue tumors, few cases of lipoma or its variants have been reported in the oral cavity. We here described the clinical, histological, and immunohistochemical features of 24 cases of oral lipoma obtained from medical records at Nagasaki University Hospital between 1977 and 2010, and also retrospectively reviewed 603 cases of oral lipoma reported in the English literatures. The patients examined comprised 11 men and 13 women with a mean age of 59 years, ranging from 31 to 90 years. The main sites involved were the buccal mucosa (n = 9), followed by the tongue (n = 4), lip and retromolar area (n = 3), floor of the mouth (n = 2), and gingiva (n = 1). The mean tumor size was 2.0 cm, ranging from 0.2 to 5 cm. Histological analysis revealed 20 cases of lipoma, 2 cases of fibrolipoma, and one case each of intramuscular lipoma and spindle cell lipoma. Twenty-three cases were treated surgically while one case underwent biopsy and follow-up. Recurrence was not observed in any case. We reviewed the English literatures, and similar results were obtained. In immunohistochemical analysis, PCNA and ki-67 expression indices were higher in intramuscular lipoma cases than in its variants. Especially, it showed that a long time follow-up may be necessary in ki-67 positive cases.

“…Although morphologically cannot be differentiated from normal fat cells, lipoma cells have faster metabolism. Sometimes the capsule may be missing or broken (Epivatianos A et al, 2000).When the connective tissue is a significant part of the lesion begun to be fibrolipoma (Gnepp DR, 2009;Weiss SW et al, 2001;Fregnani ER et al, 2003).…”

Lipoma is a common tumor of soft tissue. Its location on the oral mucosa is rare, representing 1% to 5% of benign oral tumors although it is the most mesenchymal tumor of the trunk and proximal portions of extremities. Lipoma of the oral cavity may occur in any region. The buccal mucosa, tongue, and floor of the mouth are among the common locations. The clinical presentation is typically as an asymptomatic yellowish mass. The overlying epithelium is intact, and superficial blood vessels are usually evident over the tumor. Other benign connective tissue lesions such as granular cell tumor, neurofibroma, traumatic fibroma and salivary gland lesions (mucocele and mixed tumor) might be included in differential diagnosis. We present a case report of oral lipoma in the left side of the lower lip in 18 years old Saudi patient.
