Abstract

Lipomas are the most common type of benign tumor and frequently occur in the head and neck region. The clinical course may develop over a period of years in the form of a gradually enlarging, painless mass. We report a relatively uncommon case of lipoma of the buccal region with penetration of the facial artery in the tumor. We conducted preoperative imaging based on previous reports and suggest that the combination of ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging might be necessary for proper diagnosis and treatment.
