1Pathology, Kalpana Chawla Government Medical College, Karnal, IND.
Abstract:
Lipoma and its variants rarely involve the oral cavity. Osteolipoma of the hard palate is extremely uncommon with only a few cases reported worldwide. It is important to recognize and give comprehensive diagnosis of this entity, so as to prevent unwarranted medical interventions. Here, in this report, we describe a rare case of osteolipoma arising in the hard palate of a 35-year-old male and the diagnostic conundrum associated with it. The approach to such a case, differential diagnosis, and review of the literature are also presented.
