Background Lipomas are benign neoplasms derived from adipose tissue that are unfrequently found in the oral cavity. The objective of this study is to identify the main clinicopathological characteristics of this tumour in a case series of oral lipomas (OL) in a population from Spain and Brazil. Material and Methods A multicentre retrospective observational study was conducted in collaboration with the Oral Pathology Unit of the São Paulo State University (UNESP), São José dos Campos, in Brazil, and the Oral Medicine and Pathology Units of the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC) and the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) in Spain. Results This multicentre series consists of a total of 97 of OL cases, 31 (32%) of which correspond to Spain, and 66 (68%) to Brazil with an overall prevalence of 0.33%. The average age of the patients is 56.44 years old, with a range of 10‐92 (SD = 15.52). Buccal mucosa was the most frequent location (42.3%). Cases from Spain coexisted with other lesions in a significant number of cases, 12.9%, vs Brazil, 1.5% (P = 0.018). According to the progression time, Brazil has an average of 60.35 months (CI: 27.20‐93.51), compared to 5.41 months in Spain (CI: 3.17‐7.65) (P = 0.022). Average size is 12.55 mm (SD = 11.06), ranging from 2 to 75 mm. A positive correlation is also seen between the increase in the lesion size and a greater progression time (CC = 0.367; P = 0.008). Conclusions Correct differential diagnosis of the clinical lesion is key, followed by a good histopathological study, to achieve the final diagnosis.

“…3 There have been some reports of these growths in the oral cavity, parotid gland and esophagus, intestine, and other areas. [4][5][6][7][8][9] However, few reports have described the radiological findings of this tumor, especially in subcutaneous sites. 2 On MR images, the signal intensity of fatty and nonfatty tissues was characteristic on T1-weighted and T2-weighted images.…”

Subcutaneous fibrolipoma in the back

A 65-year-old man presented with a subcutaneous giant mass in his upper back. The tumor had a massive fatty and non-adipose component that enhanced heterogeneously on contrast-enhanced computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Therefore, the lesion was initially thought to be a liposarcoma or spindle cell lipoma. After surgery, the tumor was histologically diagnosed as a fibrolipoma. Subcutaneous fibrolipoma is a rare neoplasm that is defined as a subtype of lipoma.

“…Spindle cell lipoma [37], osteolipoma [38], fibrolipoma [39], angiolipoma [40], lipoblastoma [41], hibernoma [42], and pleomorphic lipoma [43] are the main subtypes reported. Of these, spindle cell lipoma may mimic myoepithelioma with extensive lipometaplasia.…”

Fat-containing tumors of the salivary glands are uncommon. Their wide histological spectrum varies from pure lipomatous neoplasms similar to their cutaneous and soft tissue counterparts to mixed lipoepithelial lesions specific to the salivary glands. With few exceptions, these uncommon lesions affect mainly the elderly, with a mean age at presentation of C50 years and show a predilection for males. A few cases occur in childhood; some of them represent congenital lesions. In decreasing order of frequency, ordinary (soft-tissue type) lipoma, oncocytic lipoadenoma, non-oncocytic sialolipoma, and pleomorphic adenoma/myoepithelioma with extensive lipometaplasia are the main variants of fat containing tumors encountered in the salivary glands. While pleomorphic adenoma/myoepithelioma with lipometaplasia behave in the same way as their non-fat-containing counterparts, other lipomatous salivary gland tumors listed above are cured with simple excision and do not carry a risk of recurrence. Other lipoma variants (spindle cell lipoma, osteolipoma, fibrolipoma, angiolipoma, pleomorphic lipoma, lipoblastoma and hibernoma) are exceptionally rare in the salivary gland. Atypical lipomatous tumors/liposarcoma have been only rarely reported in the salivary gland and they behave in a similar fashion to their soft-tissue counterparts. Diffuse lipomatosis and lobular fatty atrophy are the two tumor-like lesions that might closely mimic sialolipoma, particularly in limited biopsy material without knowledge of the gross findings. This review summarizes the clinicopathological features of the main types of salivary fat-containing lesions and discusses their differential diagnoses.
