Lipomas are considered the most frequent mesenchymal tumors of soft tissue, 13% are located in head and neck but it's difficult to find them in the oral and maxillofacial region. The most common location of lipomas within the oral and maxillofacial region has been reported in the buccal mucosa, tongue and floor of the mouth. Lipomas are neoplasias that typically present as a soft, smooth surfaced, nodular, yellowish, and asymptomatic mass.
Histopathologically, the classical lipoma resembles normal adipose tissue and it has multiple variants. This article presents a case report of a relatively large oral classical lipoma in a 46 yearold woman on mandibular buccal vestibule, along with a review of the literature and its histopatho-logical variants.
