Abstract
Pleomorphic lipoma, a variant of lipoma, is a rare benign lipomatous tumor mainly located in the subcutaneous tissue of the neck and shoulders in elderly men. However, it is extremely rare in the oral cavity. To our knowledge, only 9 cases, including the present case, of pleomorphic lipoma in the oral cavity have been reported in the English-language and Japanese literature. We describe a case of pleomorphic lipoma arising in the buccal mucosa of a 35-year-old woman. Physical examination revealed a tender, smooth, well-demarcated mass, measuring 25 × 20 mm in the left buccal mucosa. The mass was surgically removed with the patient under general anesthesia, and the histopathological diagnosis was pleomorphic lipoma. There were no signs of recurrence 14 months after the operation.
