Abstract :

Lipomas are rare benign soft tissue mesenchymal neoplasms in the oral cavity, representing 1% of all benign oral tumors. Fiolipoma (FL), an uncommon, histological variant of the lipoma, mostly affects the buccal mucosa. Very few cases of FL have been reported in the English literature. The diagnosis and differentiation of FL with clinically similar lesions such as fioma, mucocele and pleomorphic adenoma are very essential for a correct treatment plan and complete follow-up. Due to the rarity of oral cavity fiolipoma reports, we present a case report of a young female patient diagnosed with a fiolipoma in the buccal mucosa.
