Documentation of Lipomas in the Oral Cavity of Two Institutes in Turkey.

Objective: About 20% of lipomas are seen in the head and neck region among which oral lipomas constitute only 1-4%. Our aim was to investigate oral lipomas from two institutes in Turkey. Study design: Pathology material including reports and slides between 2007 and 2014 were retrieved. Results: Eight cases of oral lipomas were detected emphasizing this rare entity. Conclusion: Lipoma is one of the benign mesenchymal tumors which rarely occur in the oral mucosa. Intraoral lipoma should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of intraoral lesions.
