Abstract
Lipomas are most common tumours of mesenchymal origin in human body but are rare in oral and maxillofacial regions. They arise from the mature adipose tissues. The aetiology and pathophysiology remain ununderstood. Various theories have been proposed to explain the pathogenesis of this adipose tissue tumour. A case of intraoral brolipoma occurring in vestibular region in a 50-year-old female is reported. Excision was performed under local anaesthesia and one-year follow-up showed excellent healing with no signs of recurrence. Various histological patterns of lipoma have been explained in literature. Most of them are asymptomatic, resulting in delay to seek treatment.
