“…The growth rate of fibrolipomas is faster than the classic variants. 8 The occurrence of fibrolipomas in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinus is rare and probably reflects the paucity of normal adipose tissue in this area. To our knowledge, there have been only two cases in the literature reported on fibrolipoma arising from the nasal septum.…”

Unilateral sinonasal mass presenting as nasal block is a common presentation but poses a diagnostic challenge. The differential diagnosis includes inflammatory polyps, benign and malignant sinonasal neoplasm. Fibrolipoma presenting in the sinonasal area is an uncommon pathology. As it is uncommon, there is potential for a misdiagnosis, unnecessary investigation and delay in the definitive treatment. We report a patient with a fibrolipoma originating from the posterior nasal septum. The diagnostic and surgical features of this unique case are discussed.

“…But intraoral lipoma may occasionally impair the functions of mastication, speech, and even swallowing depending on its intraoral location [3,4] . Histologically, lipoma can be classified into classic lipoma, fibrolipoma, chondrolipoma, sialolipoma, spindle cell lipoma and osteolipoma [1] . Surgical excision of the mass is the treatment of choice.…”

Lipoma is a benign mesenchymal tumour that rarely develops intraorally. Intraoral lipoma usually presents as a slowgrowing, painless mass, occasionally interfering with speech and mastication. Here we describe a patient with pedunculated intraoral lipoma causing speech and mastication difficulties. A 48-year-old gentleman presented with a slow-growing, painless intraoral mass causing discomfort while chewing and talking. The mass originated from the buccal mucosa through a thin peduncle. We excised the tumour entirely from its root. Histopathologically it was diagnosed as fibrolipoma. We also conducted a systematic quantitative review of the PubMed database following PRISMA guidelines using specific sets of keywords and defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Total 44 relevant articles were identified comprising of 175 patients. Their demographic and clinical profiles are described. Most common site of origin is buccal mucosa followed by tongue and lips. The presenting symptoms vary according to the intraoral location of the lesion. Pedunculated origin of intraoral lipoma is an extremely rare presentation. It is difficult to diagnose clinically, but a high degree of clinical suspicion helps in dealing with such cases.

“…Embora o crescimento do lipoma oral seja comumente lento, eles podem alcançar grandes dimensões [19][20][21] . Dessa forma, todos os casos compatíveis clinicamente com essa condição devem ser submetidos a excisão cirúrgica e análise microscópica [22][23][24][25] .…”

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.
