Abstract :
Lipomas are rare benign soft tissue mesenchymal neoplasms in the oral cavity,representing 1% of all benign oral tumors. Fibrolipoma (FL), an uncommon, histologicalvariant of the classic lipoma, mostly affects the buccal mucosa. Very few cases of FL havebeen reported in the English literature. To the best of our knowledge a review of the Englishliterature showed 33 cases of FL affecting the oral cavity.The diagnosis and differentiation of FL with clinically similar lesions such as fibroma,mucocele and pleomorphic adenoma are very essential for a correct treatment plan andcomplete follow-up. Due to the rarity of oral cavity fibrolipoma reports, three cases and areview of literature is presented here.
