The formation is encapsulated, does not cause pain, leads to bulging of the affected area, and easily moves with pressure. It can grow to enormous sizes, causing stretching and sagging of the skin. The treatment of this pathology is surgical. The complexity of surgical intervention depends on the location of the formation and its size. To diagnose lipomas, in addition to clinical methods (examination, palpation), instrumental research methods are used. This article analyzes the frequency of lipomas in the maxillofacial area, clinical manifestations, and differential diagnosis of this disease.
