Lipoma is the most common mesenchymal tumor seen in the trunk and extremities. It is rarely found in the mouth. Clinically, it resembles other lesions and is not considered in the initial diagnosis. Histopathological evaluation is needed for accurate diagnosis. Surgical excision is the main treatment modality. Histologically, many variants are described of which fibrolipoma is thought to have some recurrence. This article describes a case of fibrolipoma of the buccal mucosa in a geriatric patient.

Oral fibrolipoma in dogs: Retrospective case series study and comparative review.
Vet Pathol
January 2025
Antech Diagnostics, Fountain Valley, CA.
Article Synopsis
- Fibrolipomas are benign tumors composed of fat and fibrous tissue that are commonly found in the mouth of dogs, with a particular prevalence in males and dogs around 10 years old.
- In a study examining 112 cases, the tongue was identified as the most common location for these tumors, followed by the buccal mucosa and sublingual area.
- The anatomical distribution of oral fibrolipomas varied by dog breed, but other factors like sex and age showed no significant differences, highlighting the need to consider fibrolipomas when diagnosing oral masses in dogs.

Lipomas occurring in the hard palate are extremely rare, and treating lipomas in this area presents challenges due to the thinness of soft tissue and the risk of postoperative bony surface exposure. We present a case of hard palate lipoma that was successfully removed using the partial thickness flap dissection technique. In addition, we reviewed the clinicopathological features of 20 reported cases of hard palate lipomas worldwide and retrospectively analyzed the clinical characteristics and pathological types of 68 oral lipomas in China.

Article Synopsis
- * It constitutes only 1.6% of all facial lipomas and commonly appears in areas like the buccal mucosa, potentially leading to both functional and cosmetic issues.
- * Correctly diagnosing fibrolipoma is critical to distinguish it from similar conditions, such as fibromas and pleomorphic adenomas, which is essential for proper treatment and follow-up care.

Background: Lipomas are benign soft tissue neoplasms frequently found in the human body. Head and neck lipomas are relatively uncommon, accounting for 1 to 4% of benign lesions at this location. This 14-year retrospective study analyzed the clinical-pathological features of cases of oral cavity lipomas and their histopathological variants seen at a single oral pathology referral center.
