“…The clinical course of oral lipomas is generally asymptomatic until they reach a large size, and large oral lipomas sometimes cause severe oral dysfunction. A previous study reported that a case of giant lipoma arising in the tongue that measured 10.0 9 9.0 9 6.0 cm, weighed 200 g, and caused severe functional impairment [21]. Among our cases, an intramuscular lipoma in the tongue measured 3.5 9 3.0 9 2.0 cm, and caused dysmotility and dysarthria.…”

Although lipomas are common soft tissue tumors, few cases of lipoma or its variants have been reported in the oral cavity. We here described the clinical, histological, and immunohistochemical features of 24 cases of oral lipoma obtained from medical records at Nagasaki University Hospital between 1977 and 2010, and also retrospectively reviewed 603 cases of oral lipoma reported in the English literatures. The patients examined comprised 11 men and 13 women with a mean age of 59 years, ranging from 31 to 90 years. The main sites involved were the buccal mucosa (n = 9), followed by the tongue (n = 4), lip and retromolar area (n = 3), floor of the mouth (n = 2), and gingiva (n = 1). The mean tumor size was 2.0 cm, ranging from 0.2 to 5 cm. Histological analysis revealed 20 cases of lipoma, 2 cases of fibrolipoma, and one case each of intramuscular lipoma and spindle cell lipoma. Twenty-three cases were treated surgically while one case underwent biopsy and follow-up. Recurrence was not observed in any case. We reviewed the English literatures, and similar results were obtained. In immunohistochemical analysis, PCNA and ki-67 expression indices were higher in intramuscular lipoma cases than in its variants. Especially, it showed that a long time follow-up may be necessary in ki-67 positive cases.

Lipomas are common benign soft tissue neoplasms of mature adipose tissue. Most of lipomas develop in the subcutaneous tissues but deeper tissues may be involved as well; the oral cavity is not commonly affected. The overall incidence in the oral cavity is thought to be between 1% and 4.4% of all benign oral lesions. Oral lipomas can occur in various anatomic sites including the major salivary glands, buccal mucosa, lip, tongue, palate, vestibule, and floor of mouth. Although benign in nature, their progressive growth may cause interference with speech and mastication due to tumour's dimension. The present report shows the case of a 58-year old female who presented with a large intraoral lipoma.

“…20 It can very rarely occur in the oral cavity with an incidence 1-4%. [21][22][23] Most patients are above 40 years of age with no sex predilection. 24 In tongue, it usually presents as a long-standing soft nodular asymptomatic swelling covered by normal mucosa.…”
