| Description: | The lipoma is a relatively rare intraoral tumor, although it occurs with considerable frequency in other areas, particularly in the subcutaneous tissues of the neck. Lipomas are common benign soft tissue neoplasms of mature adipose tissue. They have been known to grow to large sizes causing mastication and speech difficulties. The usual lesions consist of a well circumscribed, lobulated mass of mature fat cells. In other situations the covering mucosa becomes ulcerated and presents difficulties in diagnosis. It seldom occurs in the younger age group. We present a rare case of lipoma affecting the oral cavity of a 13 year old male patient. |
