Abstract
Spindle cell lipoma is a benign tumour composed of mature fat cells, spindle cells, and a myxoid matrix separated by thick bands of birefringent collagen. Oral spindle cell lipoma is a very rare lesion. We report a case of spindle cell lipoma of the cheek. A 42-year-old woman was referred to our department because of a painless swelling on the left cheek. Clinical examination revealed a mobile, well-demarcated mass of the cheek. The tumour was removed surgically under general anaesthesia. A histopathological specimen revealed a spindle cell lipoma. Following surgery, no evidence of recurrence has been observed.
