Intraosseous lipoma of the jaws: Review of the literature and rare case report

Intraosseous angio-lipo-fibroma of the mandible: Report of a rare case with review of literature

“…Many other lesions may enter in the differential diagnosis, including primary bone lesions (fibrous dysplasia and ossifying fibroma, cherubism, giant cell granuloma, osteosarcoma) [ 6 , 7 , 13 , 14 ], odontogenic neoplasms (ameloblastoma, odontogenic fibroma [ 15 ] or gingival hyperplastic processes (peripheral giant cell granuloma, drug-induced hyperplasia, fibromatosis). Both clinical examination and radiological investigations may prove of little value to achieve a definitive diagnosis and the occurrence of rapid growth or bone erosion may lead to consider malignant neoplasms in the differential.…”

A rare case of an intraosseous lipoma associated with the resorption of a mandibular third molar

“…However, within the jaws, symptoms of paraesthesia, swelling and trismus have been reported, 13 but these symptoms are dependent on the size and location of the lesion. The common age range for the occurrence of intraosseous lipoma is 20–65 years, 6 with a slight predilection for males over females (1.6:1) 7 . For definitive diagnosis, histopathological examination is crucial, and before this upon radiographic examination, the differential diagnoses may include a radicular cyst, odontogenic keratocyst, ameloblastoma or a giant cell lesion 14 …”

“…7 We report an intraosseous lipoma (IL) associated with the roots of a lower left wisdom tooth (LL8). A literature search revealed that this is the 5th reported case of an IL associated with a mandibular wisdom tooth, 6,8 and only the second case associated with external root resorption. 9,10 The scarce number of reported cases, emphasises the importance that every case should be documented in the literature.…”

“…The most common location (66.6%) is the body and ramus of the mandible, with 23.33% occurring in the anterior mandible and only 10% occurring in the maxilla. 6 The first reported case was in 1948 by Oringer associated with a mandibular second molar. 7 We report an intraosseous lipoma (IL) associated with the roots of a lower left wisdom tooth (LL8).…”

“…To the authors' knowledge, at the time of the search, there are 31 documented cases of intraosseous lipomas within the maxilla and mandible. The most common location (66.6%) is the body and ramus of the mandible, with 23.33% occurring in the anterior mandible and only 10% occurring in the maxilla 6 . The first reported case was in 1948 by Oringer associated with a mandibular second molar 7 …”
