This case report details an unusually large oral lipoma in an 85-year-old female. Early diagnosis and awareness are crucial to prevent unnecessary aggressive surgical interventions for these uncommon oral tumors.

Area of Science:

  • Oral Pathology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Diagnostic Histopathology

Background:

  • Lipomas of the oral cavity are rare benign tumors composed of adipose tissue.
  • Intraoral lipomas can present as progressively growing masses, potentially causing functional impairment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a rare case of a large oropharyngeal lipoma.
  • To discuss the clinicoradiological and histopathological features of oral lipomas.
  • To emphasize the importance of recognizing oral lipomas to guide appropriate management.

Main Methods:

  • Case presentation of an 85-year-old female with an oropharyngeal growth.
  • Clinical and radiological evaluation of the mass.
  • Histopathological examination for definitive diagnosis.

Main Results:

  • Diagnosis of lipoma confirmed via histopathology.
  • The intraoral lipoma was notably large, one of the largest reported in India.
  • Clinicoradiological findings supported the diagnosis.

Conclusions:

  • Oral lipomas, though uncommon, can present as large masses in unusual locations like the oropharynx.
  • Awareness of such presentations is vital to avoid overly aggressive surgical approaches.
  • Accurate diagnosis through clinicoradiological and histopathological assessment is key for optimal patient care.
