Summary
Large oral lipomas, uncommon benign tumors of fat cells, can be misdiagnosed due to size. Surgical excision and histopathology confirm diagnosis and ensure resolution of these rare growths.
Area of Science:
- Oral Pathology
- Surgical Oncology
- Dermatology
Background:
- Oral lipomas are rare benign tumors originating from fat cells, comprising approximately 1% of all benign oral lesions.
- Typically presenting as slow-growing, yellowish masses on the buccal mucosa, lips, or tongue, they usually measure under 10 mm.
- Larger oral lipomas can be mistaken for other growths, necessitating careful evaluation.
