Osteolipoma of floor of the mouth

Abstract: Lipomas are benign soft tissue tumours composed mainly of mature adipose tissue. Histological variants of lipomas have been named according to the type of tissue present and they include fibrolipoma, angiolipoma, osteolipoma, chondrolipoma and others. Osteolipoma, a classic lipoma with osseous metaplasia, is a very rare histological variant. Owing to the rarity of oral osteolipomas, we report an uncommon case of osteolipoma located on the floor of the mouth of a 20-year-old female patient and include a review … Show more

“…No other markers or details on osteogenic differentiation of these cells were reported. However, there are numerous reports on lipoma tissue ossification observed in different parts of the body [8,16,18,19,60,61,62,63] and this phenomenon could be explained by the existence of stem cells in lipoma tissue that may differentiate into osteoblasts and chondrocytes.…”

“…The OL has been widely described in various anatomical district sites of the body, such as the upper and lower extremities, spine, subcutaneous soft tissue and, very rarely, in head and neck region 2–5 . In particular, in the head and neck district, OL has been reported as a lesion located in the parapharyngeal space, nasopharinx, submandibular gland, eyelid, floor of the mouth, and skull base 6–10 …”
