Large buccal fat pad lipoma: A rare case report

Abstract

Classical lipomas are common benign tumors but uncommon in oral and faciomaxillary region. Buccal fat pad (BFP) lipomas are very rare. Case Report: A 57-year- old woman developed a swelling of left cheek. Ultrasound of cheek revealed buccal lipoma. Fine needle aspiration (FNA) diagnosed it as classic lipoma. Excision of BFP lipoma was done by intraoral route under local anesthesia. Conclusion: Intraoral excision of BFP lipoma is east way for complete excision under local anesthesia.
