Lipomas are most common, benign, soft tissue tumors in the body; however, they are rarely seen in the oral cavity. Intraoral lipomas are seen as benign, well-encapsulated swelling without pain with added yellowish tinge. We are presenting a case of an intraoral lipoma where the 22-year-old female presented a single well-encapsulated swelling in the posterior aspect of the palate on left side. The purpose of this report is to emphasize the need for dentists to be aware of frequency of occurrence of intraoral lipoma.
