Fibrolipoma of the Floor of the Mouth - Report of a Rare Case and Review of the Literature

抄録

Lipomas are the most common soft tissue tumors of mesenchymal origin. These tumors constitute about 20% of cases involving the head and neck region and 1-4% of those affecting the oral cavity, predominantly affecting the buccal mucosa, floor of mouth and tongue. Fibrolipoma is a rare histological variant of lipoma with a much lower incidence in the oral cavity. We report herein a case with large sublingual fibrolipoma along with a review of the literature for this tumor.
