Abstract:
A case of gingival fibrolipoma is described. The lesion presented as a tumor-like mass with a broad base arising from the attached gingiva adjacent to the mandibular left first bicuspid. Microscopic evaluation of the lesion revealed an admixture of mature adipose tissue and fibrous connective tissue. Fibrolipomas are an infrequent variant of lipomas. A review of the literature indicates that a gingival location for such lesions is rare.
