'Hibernoma' is a neoplasm that arises from vestiges of fetal brown fat, and its occurrence in oral cavity is extremely rare. Its most common locations include thighs, the inter-scapular region, and the cervical region. In the present case, a 37-year-old male patient reported to our department with a localized swelling on his lower left labial mucosa along with multiple cutaneous well-defined swellings on his right arm and abdominal region. Incisional biopsy was carried out. Histopathological examination revealed sheets of multi-vacuolated eosinophilic cells with the granular cytoplasm interspersed with fat cells suggestive of oral hibernoma. These are rare lesions and could be often a missed-out diagnosis. Therefore, it is imperative to consider oral hibernoma among the commonly considered differential diagnosis of oral mucosal swellings.

Benign lipomas are a common medical problem that is not known to regress spontaneously. In addition, vitamin D (VD) is a known regulator of adipocyte proliferation and differentiation. Thus, the purpose of this multi-case study was to determine if optimizing serum 1,25(OH)D3 (VD3) concentrations to the 40-60 ng/mL range would catalyze regression of benign subcutaneous lipomas.

Angiomyxomas, also known as vascular myxolipomas, are a rare type of soft tissue tumor characterized by the proliferation of adipose tissue within a myxoid stroma accompanied by multiple vascular channels. They represent a distinct variant of lipomas and require differentiation from other benign and malignant lipoma subtypes. Despite their rarity, only a few cases of angiomyxolipoma have been documented in medical literature.

Infiltrating lipomas are a rare form of lipomas exhibiting unusual clinical behavior. We report a case of an adipocytic tumor of a 31-year-old male diagnosed with an infiltrating lipoma in the right submandibular region. It exhibits unusual clinical features such as invasion into surrounding structures, posing significant diagnostic challenges.

Article Synopsis
- Lipomas are benign tumors made up of fat tissue, and while they are the most common type of mesenchymal tumor, they are rare in the oral and maxillofacial regions.
- This study focuses on a unique case of a large lipoma found in the buccal space of a 38-year-old obese male, who had been experiencing a non-painful cheek swelling that grew over four years.
- The lipoma was successfully removed via an intraoral approach, measured 7.0 cm × 5.3 cm × 1.6 cm, and did not show any signs of recurrence after histopathology confirmed the diagnosis.

Soft tissue lesions are among the most prevalent forms of tumors or tumor-like alterations within the oral cavity. They exhibit a wide spectrum of characteristics, ranging from benign, noninvasive lesions to malignant tumors, which collectively present a diagnostic challenge. A 67-year-old patient presented with an incidental finding of induration on the right cheek during dental hygiene.
