Spindle cell lipoma (SCL) is a rare distinct variant of lipoma, which presents as a painless, circumscribed, slow-growing, superficial lesion on the lip and can mimic a minor salivary gland tumour. We present a slow growing lower lip lesion and its management. Case Report. A 38-year-old female gave an eight-year history of a slow-growing mass on her lower lip with intermittent change in size. She presented with a submucosal nodule and thin overlying mucosa adjacent to the vermilion border. Surgical excision was carried as the diagnostic and therapeutic approach. Conclusion. Lip SCL is rare, and surgical excision is advocated in order to exclude underlying pathology and minor salivary gland tumours.

Background The lipoma of the oral cavity is a relatively rare pathology, characterized by overgrowth of the mature adipocytes. Buccal fat pad lipomas usually interfere with the esthetics and the function of the face. Case Report A sixteen-year-old patient reported slow-growing swelling, which started two years ago. Clinical examination revealed two bilateral masses in the soft tissue. MRI imaging revealed a characteristic image of bilateral lipomas connected to the buccal fat pad. Surgical removal was conducted and the histology report confirmed our clinical diagnosis of common lipoma. Discussion The lipoma of the buccal fat pad is a benign neoplasm of the adipose tissue. It should be removed when functional or esthetic problems occur and emphasis should be put on the correct surgical technique. Conclusions The bilateral buccal fat pad lipoma is an extremely rare condition of the oral cavity. Surgical removal with intraoral approach is the preferable treatment, together with intense care of the anatomical structures of the buccal space. Key words: Buccal space lipoma, oral cavity, buccal space, bilateral, buccal fat pad lipoma.

| A lipoma is a slow-growth benign tumor of the adipocytes. In the oral cavity, it is more commonly observed in the buccal mucosa; other sites less affected are the tongue, floor of the mouth, and lips. The objective of this report is to describe an extensive tumor affecting the dorsum of the tongue and the therapeutic maneuver performed. A 63-yearold man was referred to our clinic for evaluation of a tumor in the dorsum of the tongue with 6 months of duration. The physical examination revealed an extensive nodule, asymptomatic, submucosal, in the dorsum of the tongue at the left that measured approximately 4 cm. On palpation, the lesion was mobile and had rubbery consistency. According to these findings, the diagnostic hypotheses were lipoma and neurofibroma. Hence, surgical excision was performed and during the procedure a yellowish and well-delimited lesion was observed. The surgical specimen floated in 10% formalin. The histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of lipoma. The patient is asymptomatic after 40 months of follow-up. This report describes an unusual presentation of lipoma on the dorsum of the tongue and demonstrates that this lesion can reach large proportions.DESCRIPTORS | Lipoma; Tongue Diseases; Mouth Neoplasms; Tongue Neoplasms. RESUMO | Resumo Lipoma oral de tamanho e localização incomuns: relato de caso • Lipoma é um tumor benigno de crescimento lento dos adipócitos. Na cavidade oral, é mais comumente observado na mucosa jugal; outros sítios menos afetados são a língua, soalho oral e lábios. O objetivo deste relato é descrever um extenso tumor afetando o dorso da língua e a manobra terapêutica realizada. Um homem de 63 anos de idade foi encaminhado à nossa clínica para avaliação de um tumor no dorso da língua com 6 meses de duração. O exame físico revelou um nódulo extenso, assintomático, submucoso, no dorso da língua à esquerda, medindo aproximadamente 4 cm. À palpação, a lesão era móvel e tinha consistência borrachoide. De acordo com esses achados, as hipóteses diagnósticas foram lipoma e neurofibroma. Portanto, foi realizada excisão cirúrgica e, durante o procedimento, foi observada uma lesão amarelada e bem delimitada. O espécime cirúrgico flutuou em formalina a 10%. O exame histopatológico confirmou o diagnóstico de lipoma. O paciente encontra-se assintomático após 40 meses de acompanhamento. Este relato descreve uma apresentação incomum de lipoma no dorso da língua e demonstra que essa lesão pode atingir grandes proporções.
