Abstract
A lipoma is a non-epithelial benign tumor that frequently occurs in soft tissue, and can occur in the oral cavity. The incidence of intraoral lipoma differs at each facility, but there are few reports of a lipoma involving the gingiva or gingivobuccal fold. A fibrolipoma is composed of fibrous tissue within adipose tissue. We experienced one case of a fibrolipoma extending from the mandibular gingiva to the gingivobuccal fold. An imaging examination may be necessary without a clinical diagnosis, when only visual inspection is performed depending on the location of the lipoma. Lipoma occurs most commonly on the buccal mucosa, but we should be aware that it can involve gingival tissues as well.
