ABSTRACT

Background: Lipomas are commonly found benign mesenchymal tumors more frequently confined to the extremities and trunk. Lipomas arising in the oral cavity are a rather unusual finding. Histologic features of the tumors reveal lobules of benign mature adyposites encircled by thin bands of fibrous connective tissue.
Objective: To describe clinical and histopatholgic findings during a period of 20 years.
Material and method: The purpose of this report is to evaluate the retrospective clinical presentation and histolopathological features of 23 collected lipomas confined to the oral cavity, and found during the hospital and private practice of the authors during the period of January 1990 through December 2010. All cases were tabulated by gender, age, location and awareness of the presence of the tumor, as well as clinical and histopatholgic facts of lipomas arising in this particular location.
Results: 23 cases (12 male, 11 female). The difference between sexes was not statistically significant. Ages ranged between 30 and 86 years old, 60 years old was the average age. The most frequent sites involved were: buccal mucosa (13), tongue (4), lips (4), soft palate (1), floor of the mouth. The average duration of the lipomas was 24 months. 22 cases were simple lipomas and 1 was fibrolipoma. The size range of tumors varied from 0.5 cm to 2 cm.
Conclusion: Lipomas represent benign tumors infrequent in the oral cavity, and its diagnosis should include clinical manifestations and histopathology. Surgery is the treatment of choice.
