A case of lipoma of the cheek with clinically diagnostic difficulties from the lesional state

Abstract

A case is reported of lipoma presenting as a lesion with clinically interesting attitude in a 49-year-old man.
The tumor arose near the region of the facial artery corresponding to the right mandibular body and revealed a pseudofluctuation on palpation. Nothing was aspirated, but angiomatous lesions were clinically suspected with some diagnostic difficulties. The tumor was extirpated by extraoral approach under GOF general anesthesia.
It was diagnosed clinically as a lipoma, which was capsulated with the thin connective tissue and comprised a mass of the matured adipose tissue with multilobulation.
