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.

WDL/ALTs are further divided into three histological subtypes, including lipoma-like, sclerosing, and inflammatory. While the majority of these tumors are predominantly fatty, the sclerosing variant demonstrates diverse histologic and radiographic characteristics, including variable amounts of fibrosis and fat.
