Lipoma versus benign symmetric lipomatosis with localization in oral and maxillofacia region

Abstract

Benign tumors of fat tissue with localization in oral and maxillofacial region are an ongoing problem, with a high frequency and various manifestation causing morphofunctional and aesthetic discomfort for the patient. The article is based on comparative analysis of 2 patients that have benign tumors of the adipose tissue in the OMF region, one patient diagnosed with solitary lipoma and over patient with benign symmetric lipomatosis with anterior cervical localization. The specialized literature offers 2 methods of lipomatous tumor removal Liposuction and Lipectomy, in the article we describe the effectivity of the 2 methods. This study proved that benign tumors of fat tissue can have common morphological origin but different progression and clinical features. Early addressing of the patients and early detection diminishes the duration of the surgery, morbidity and rehabilitation of the patient.
