“…Since establishing a clinical diagnosis of fibrolipoma is difficult, it is important to conduct histopathological evaluation of the surgically excised lesion. 12 Clinically, lipomas present as slow growing, pedunculated/ sessile mass with yellowish hue. They are non-tender, soft in consistency, smooth surfaced, mobile and compressible mass.…”

Lipomas are benign tumors, made up of mature adipocytes. They are slow in developing and there is no clear etiology. However, they are rare to occur in oral cavity and are usually present on the buccal mucosa of patients in their sixth to seventh decade. Although benign, their size can lead to functional and aesthetic problems. Therefore, it is important to differentiate an intraoral fibrolipoma from a mucocele, traumatic fibroma, pleomorphic adenoma, etc. for proper treatment and follow-up. Surgical excision is the treatment. Fibrolipoma may sometimes appear to infiltrate the adjacent tissues, which creates confusion in differential diagnosis. Hence, careful histopathological examination is mandatory and regular follow-ups.

“…They represent approximately 0.6% of benign tumors of the larynx and hypopharynx, and there are less than 100 cases reported [1] , [2] , [3] . They are classified into simple lipoma, fibrolipoma, mixolipoma, chondroid lipoma, angiolipoma, angiomyolipoma, myelolipoma, spindle cell lipoma, sialolipoma, pleomorphic lipoma and atypical lipoma [4] . The fibrolipoma is a benign lesion classified by the World Health Organization as a histologic variant of lipomas.…”

Fibrolipomas are benign lesions conformed by fat and connective tissue, classified as histologic variants of lipomas. They are rarely located in the head and neck and represent less than 0.6% of the benign tumors of the larynx and hypopharynx. Their clinical presentation depends on its location and size. We present the case of a 51-year-old male patient who reported progressive dyspnea, dysphagia and obstructive sleep symptoms with a duration of 3 months, without apparent cause. A pharyngolaryngeal fiberoptic endoscopy showed a smooth, rounded mass in the posterior wall of the hypopharynx, partially obstructing the laryngeal vestibule, creating a valve effect. Complete trans-cervical resection of the lesion was performed after the airway was secured by means of a tracheotomy. The final histopathology report was fibrolipoma. He is currently asymptomatic and without evidence of relapse one year after the procedure.

Fibrolipoma is defined as a typical lipoma transected by variable amounts of paucicellular and collagenous fibrous components. Oral and lingual fibrolipomas are well-recognized histological entities in human medicine that are slightly more prevalent in females, occur most commonly after the fourth decade, and arise from the buccal mucosa. The documentation of this neoplasm in the oral cavity is lacking in veterinary medicine. Through a multi-institutional retrospective compilation of cases submitted to diagnostic pathology services, here we describe the clinical and pathologic features of oral fibrolipomas in dogs. A total of 112 cases of oral fibrolipomas in dogs were retrieved. The mean age was 10.1 years (range 2–16 years, ±2.63 years standard deviation), with an average tumor size of 1.7 cm (range 0.2–8 cm, ±1.1 cm standard deviation). The most common location was the tongue (57.1%, 64/112), followed by the buccal mucosa (15.2%, 16/112), sublingual area (8.0%, 9/112), gingiva and lip (4.5%, 5/112 each), and palate (1 case). The anatomical location of oral fibrolipomas only differed significantly among the dog breeds ( P < .001) but not among sex, age, anamnesis, or reason for submission. The tumor was most commonly reported in males (69.7%, 78/112), and in 62.5% (70/112) of the cases, the tumor was an incidental finding. Fibrolipoma should be considered a differential diagnosis when considering benign lingual and other oral soft tissue masses in dogs.
