A Very Rare Site for a Giant Oral Lipoma

Abstract

A lipoma is a soft tissue neoplasm with the uncommon finding in the oral cavity, representing just 1– 4%of benign oral tumours. Most basic locales of the lipomas are the buccal mucosa, tongue, and floor of the mouth with a painless, soft regular outline, smooth-surfaced, yellowish nodules. Histopathologically, an established lipoma looks like typical fat tissue, and it has different variations which less usually observed aside from fibrolipoma. The article introduces a rare case of large oral lipoma in a 50-year-old man on an uncommon site, over the alveolar ridge at the region of previously extracted lower first molar obliterate the buccal vestibule and extend to the buccal mucosa left the side.
