Abstract
Lipomas are common benign mesenchymal neoplasms of the human body with rare occurrence in the oral cavity. It is clinically characterized as nodular, sessile or pedicle masses, with soft consistency, yellowish color, smooth and nonulcerated surface. Histopathologically, they are constituted by mature adipocytes; generally asymptomatic and even with slow-growing pattern could reach large sizes. The occurrence of lipoma in the lower lip is unusual and the appearance of large tumoration is relatively rare. We describe the case of a large lipoma affecting the internal mucosa of lower lip of a 55 years-old man causing disadaptation of the lower denture, including considerable phonetic and aesthetic disorders, despite the asymptomatic increase of eight years. A complete excision was performed and histopathological analysis revealed a lipoma. The patient is under follow-up without signs of recurrence.
