Intraoral Lipoma - A Rare Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Lipomas are the most common soft tissue mesenchymal neoplasms rarely seen in the oral cavity (1–4% cases) 1. Intraoral lipoma was first described by Roux in 1848, to which he referred to as “yellow epulis.” 2 The lesion may be pedunculated or sessile and occasionally with surface bosselation. The most common intraoral site for lipoma is buccal mucosa, floor of mouth and tongue.1 The lesions are commonly seen in adults with equal distribution in males and females.2 Lipomas can be attributed to mechanical, endocrine, and inflammatory influences, which may lead to the differentiation of multipotent mesenchymal cells in fat tissue, cartilage, and bone. Systemic and local influences such as local trauma or prolonged ischaemia also causes modification of mesenchymal cells. Its differentiation from other mesenchymal tumours is mandatory for diagnosis and treatment planning.3 Here is a report of this uncommon clinical entity involving left labial mucosa in a male patient along with clinical and histopathological features with no recurrence on follow-ups.
