“…Enjoji et al [1] reported that 1,614 (20.0%) of 8,086 cases of benign soft tissue tumor were lipomas. Concerning the occurrence in the oral cavity, Bertelli [2] reported that 6 (0.9%) of 633 cases of oral benign tumor were lipomas, and Sekine et al [3] reported 24 (1.7%) of 1,416 cases showing that these lesions are relatively uncommon in the oral cavity. Intraorally, lipomas most frequently arise in the buccal mucosa.…”

Lipoma is relatively uncommon in the oral cavity. Among the intraoral regions, lipoma involving the gingiva or gingivobuccal fold is relatively infrequent. We report the case of a patient with lipoma extending superiorly from the mandibular gingivobuccal fold to the gingiva. In addition to the case report, we retrospectively reviewed 207 patients with intraoral lipoma reported in Japan from 1987 to 2004. The most frequent site of development was the buccal mucosa (40.6%), followed by the tongue (17.9%), lip (12.6%), gingiva (8.7%), oral floor (6.8%), gingivobuccal fold and palate (4.8%), and others (3.9%). Occurrence tended to be more frequent in males (57.5%) than in females (42.5%). Relative to age, frequency peaked among patients in the 7th (27.3%) and 6th decades (25.1%), respectively, followed in descending order by the 5th (14.8%) and 8th decades (13.1%). The majority of patients (86.3%) were at least 40 years. The most frequent size was 10-19 mm (37.5%), followed by 0-9 mm (27.8%) and 20-29 mm (14.6%), and tumors 30 mm or larger were relatively infrequent. Histopathological types in order of descending frequency were lipomas (69.0%), fibrolipomas (27.4%), and others (3.5%). The male:female ratio was 1.7:1 for lipoma and 1:1.6 for fibrolipoma.

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.
