Abstract

Lipomas of the oral cavity are uncommon. Here we report a case of 85year old female presenting with a progressively increasing large growth in the oropharynx which was diagnosed as lipoma on histopathology. The clinicoradiological and histopathological findings are discussed. To the best of our knowledge; this is one of the largest intraoral lipoma reported in India till date. The present case highlights the need to be aware of intraoral lipomas which can present as large growths at this unusual site so as to avoid any unwarranted aggressive surgery.
