Introduction: Infants and children are very prone to air way obstruction due to smaller and immature air ways. There are multiple causes of upper airway obstruction in infants like infections, congenital lesions and rarely tumours of the upper airway. However, angiofibrolipoma, a rare variant of lipoma causing intermittent respiratory distress in an infant has not been reported until now. Objective: To report a very rare case of angiofibrolipoma arising from the soft palate in an infant. Case report: Two and half months old female child reported to the department of otolaryngology with a history of intermittent airway obstruction since one month of age. After evaluation she was found to have a fleshy polypoidal mass above the laryngeal inlet arising from soft palate causing airway compromise. She underwent surgical excison with bipolar cautery under general anaesthesia. Conclusion: Few cases of angiofibrolipoma has been reported in adults but none has been reported in children. This is to report a case of angiofibrolipoma in child causing airway obstruction.

Lipom oral kavitede nadir görülen bir neoplazmdır. Fibrolipom, histolojik bir lipom varyantıdır ve çoğunlukla bukkal mukozayı etkileyen, 40-60 yaşları arasında görülen, genellikle asemptomatik lezyonlardır. Rekurrens ve malign transformasyon olasılığı çok düşük olmakla birlikte, immüno-histokimyasal incelemede ki-67 gen ekspresyonu tespit edilen vakalarda uzun süreli takip önerilmektedir. Bu makalenin amacı, bukkal mukozada izlenen bir fibrolipom vakasının klinik ve histopatolojik bulgularını değerlendirmek ve konuyla ilgili literatür derlemesi sunmaktır. 74 yaşındaki erkek hastanın intraoral muayenesinde sağ bukkal mukozada, yaklaşık 1cm çapında, sapsız, yarı-sıkı kıvamda, ağrısız bir lezyon tespit edildi. Eksize edilen lezyonun histopatolojik incelemesi sonucunda, lezyona ki-67 gen ekspresyonu içeren fibrolipom tanısı konuldu. Hasta periyodik takibe alındı.

“…Os lipomas são neoplasias benignas de tecido mole de origem do tecido adiposo e são relativamente incomuns na cavidade oral, representando cerca de 1% a 5% de todas as neoplasias benignas de boca 5 . A primeira descrição do lipoma oral foi fornecida em 1848 por Roux em uma revisão de massas alveolares que ele referiu como um "epulis amarelo" 16 .…”

“…De forma semelhante, Fregnani et al 5 verificaram que a variante histopatológica mais comum dos lipomas foi o fibrolipoma (39,1% dos casos). Assim, mesmo sendo uma entidade rara, a ocorrência do fibrolipoma parece ser a mais comum das neoplasias benignas de tecido adiposo em boca [15][16][17][18] .…”

Fibrolipoma is a benign neoplasm characterized by the presence of mature adipose cells separated by broad bands of dense fibrous connective tissue. This pathology is a microscopic variant of lipoma and can affect any part of the body. However, its occurrence in the oral cavity is uncommon. It is usually a smooth-surface lesion, asymptomatic, slow-growing, pedicled, asymptomatic, yellowish or pinkish color when deeper, soft on palpation, occurring mainly in the jugal mucosa. Thus, the aim of this paper is to describe the main clinical, histopathological and treatment characteristics of a clinical case of fibrolipoma. A 67-year-old female patient, leukoderma, had a normochromic, asymptomatic, firm palpation nodule, fibrous consistency, and smooth surface, with a time course of approximately two years, located in the left jugal mucosa. The diagnostic hypotheses were lipoma, fibroma, mucus extravasation phenomenon and giant cell fibroma. The patient underwent excisional biopsy and histopathological examination revealed the definitive diagnosis of fibrolipoma. The patient is in preservation, with no sign of relapse. It is concluded that, although fibrolipoma is a benign lesion, its growth can reach large dimensions, reinforcing the need for surgical excision. It should also emphasize the importance of histopathological examination to differentiate histopathological variations of lipoma.
