Abstract
The lipoma presents as one of the common mesenchymal neoplasms however, in the oral and maxillofacial region its occurrence is less frequent, representing about 0.5% to 5% of all benign oral tumours. Most patients with lipomas are above 40 years of age or older, lipomas are uncommon in children and with gender distribution appearing to be approximately equal. Lipomas are usually asymptomatic until they grow to large size and may interfere with speech and mastication. Other benign connective tissue lesions such as granular cell tumor, neurofibroma, traumatic fibroma and salivary gland lesions (mucocele and mixed tumor) might be included in differential diagnosis. The purpose of this report is to present a rare case of a 2 year & 9 months-old female patient with a histopathologically confirmed diagnosis of lipoma.
