“…Analyzing 125 lipomas of the maxillofacial region, it was found that parotid region was the site most prevalent followed by buccal mucosa, lip, submandibular region, tongue, palate, floor of the mouth and buccal vestibule, in that order of decreasing incidence (Furlong et al, 2004). A case of intra-osseous lipoma in the mandible in a female patient has also been reported in the literature and the occurrence is even rare (Buric et al, 2001;Pass et al, 2006). Regarding gender, according to literature, intra-oral lipomas have no gender predilection, but meanwhile there are greater tendencies for males (Furlong et al, 2004;Bandeca et al, 2007;Trandafir et al, 2007).…”

Lipoma, a benign tumour of adipose tissue, is one of the most common benign neoplasms of the body. However, its occurrence in oral cavity is relatively rare. It accounts for 1 to 4% of benign neoplasms of the oral cavity, affecting predominantly buccal mucosa, floor of mouth and tongue. They have been known to grow to sufficiently large sizes causing problems in mastication and speech. The usual lesion consists of a well-circumscribed, lobulated mass of mature fat cells wherein sometimes, the covering mucosa may become ulcerated presenting difficulty in its diagnosis. Herein, we are presenting a case of intra-oral lipoma affecting right anterior buccal mucosa in a 31 year old female patient. Excisional biopsy was performed and histopathological examination revealed proliferation of mature adipocytes arranged in lobules and separated by numerous fibrous septa. After a 3 month follow-up, the patient did not reveal any signs of recurrence. The clinical and histopathological findings are discussed in detail and literature is reviewed.

“…As for the gender more affected, the majority of studies show no preference 1,2,[11][12][13][14]18 , although there have been reports of localized lipomas in the oral and maxillofacial region 6 in which the male sex is predominant 6,20 but, equally, there have been studies stating a preference for the female sex 3,5,8,10 . 20 , panoramic x-ray of the maxillary region, in the case of intraosseous lipomas 2,11 , magnetic resonance imaging 14,16 and computerized tomography 7 , the latter being cited as the resource of choice for giant facial lipoma.…”

“…The predominant age of patients is between the 5 th and 7 th decades [1][2]8,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] , and is less common in children and teens. It does not discriminate between the sexes 1,2,[11][12][13][14]18 . The tumor is asymptomatic and may be noted by patients many months or even many years before being diagnosed by the Dental Surgeon 3,5-6 .…”

“…Though not commonly seen in the oral cavity, lipoma is a benign tumor of the soft tissue composed of mature adipose cells without cellular atypia, equating to between 15% and 20% of cases involving the head and neck region and between 1% and 5% of all benign tumors of the oral cavity [1][2][3][4] . This lesion may be encapsulated, characterized by a soft, nodular mass with a flat surface, which may be sessile or pedicled 3,[5][6][7][8] .…”

RESUMOLipoma é uma neoplasia mesenquimal benigna de tecido mole constituída de células adiposas maduras, estando no grupo dos tumores benignos mais comuns. No entanto, é relatada como incomum na cavidade oral, representando de 15 a 20% dos casos envolvendo a região de cabeça e pescoço, e de 1 a 5% de todos os neoplasmas benignos da cavidade oral. Quanto as suas características clínicas, apresentam um crescimento lento, indolor, associado a uma massa submucosa amarelada, podendo não se apresentarem bem delimitados. Os lipomas pelo seu crescimento médio de 0,5 a 2cm, podem atingir tamanhos exuberantes em seu maior diâmetro. A excisão cirúrgica é o tratamento de escolha, sendo raras as recidivas. O presente relato apresentado refere-se a uma paciente de 74 anos de idade, sexo feminino, apresentando um lipoma de grande extensão em região geniana-massetérica direita, não usual com a apresentação clínica dos lipomas que ocorrem na face. A paciente foi submetida à remoção completa da lesão, sendo acompanhada por 6 meses, sem sinais de recidiva.Termos de indexação: Biópsia. Lipoma. Neoplasia.
