Abstract :
Lipomas of the oral cavity are infrequent, representing about 0.5% to 5.0% of all benign oral tumors. Some lipomas are reported in paranasal sinuses diseases. We report an extremely rare case of infiltrating lipoma arising from pterygopalatine fossa studied with 3D cone beam, HRCT and MR imaging.
