Excision of large soft tissue lipoma of cheek through intra-oral approach

Lipomas are common benign soft tissue neoplasms of mature adipose tissue. Most of the lipomas develop in the subcutaneous tissues but deeper tissues may be involved as well. The oral cavity is not commonly affected as the overall incidence in the oral cavity is thought to be between 1% and 5% of all benign oral lesions. Oral lipomas can occur in various anatomic sites including the major salivary glands, buccal mucosa, lip, tongue, palate, vestibule, and floor of the mouth. Although benign in nature, their progressive growth may cause interference with the speech and mastication due to tumour′s dimension. The purpose of this article is to report management of a case of large lipoma of right cheek in a 52-year old male which was causing difficulty in mastication as well as embarrassment to the patient.
