Oral Fibrolipoma: A Report of Two Cases

Lipoma is a benign neoplasm of the fat tissue. Although, lipoma represents as the most common soft tissue neoplasm, lipomas of the oral cavity are very rare. This neoplasm contains 0.1 - 0.5% of all benign tumors of the oral cavity.

We reported two cases of fibrolipomas; the first case was in a 36-year-old female as a swelling in retromolar pad area and the second one in a 71-year-old female as an exophytic mass in pterygomandibular raphe.

The novelty of these reported cases of fibrolipomas is that they have been occurred in infrequent area such as retro molar pad area and pterygo mandibular raphe. The lesions were removed by electro cutter with no recurrence at the follow up sessions. Although fibrolipoma is pretty rare in the oral cavity, there are several lesions can also have similar clinical features. Therefore, the histopathological examination is recommended for the clinicians in order to accomplish the final diagnosis
