ABSTRACT

Lipomas are connective tissue tumors composed of adipose cells, which can appear anywhere on the body. Though rare in the oral cavity, when they do appear the most common sites are the buccal mucosa, tongue, lips, and, least commonly, the floor of the mouth. We present a case report of a lipoma of floor of mouth in a 34-year-old male patient, who, upon clinical examination, showed an increase in volume of short evolution on the right side of the floor of the mouth. A conservative local excision was performed under local anesthesia, with the histopathological report of lipoma.
