LIPOMAS OF THE ORAL CAVITY. A LITERATURE REVIEW

Daniela Trandafir, Violeta Trandafir

Abstract :

Lipomas are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the soft tissues but with a weak representation in the oral cavity. Occured in the 4th and 5th decades of life, without predilection for gender, lipomas still have uncertain pathogenesis but are often associated with general changes in lipid metabolism. Histopathology sustains positive diagnosis of intraoral lipoma and sets histologic variant. Single or multiple lesions, superficial or deep located, lipomas of the oral cavity raises, however, many problems of differential diagnosis, especially when they have atypical localizations and imprecise limits. Treatment accepted for oral lipomas, regardless of histologic variant is simple surgical excision, without postoperative recurrences in most cases. We present a ief review of data published in the international literature about these rare tumors of the oral cavity
