SUMMARY: Lipomas are slowly growing benign tumors of the adipose tissue which may occur in the whole human body. They are rarely found in the oral maxillofacial region; their incidence in the oral cavity is about 1-4 %. Intraorally, lipomas can occur at the buccal mucosa, the tongue, the vestibule, the lips, the palate and the floor of the mouth. In the majority of the cases, treatment does not cause serious concern. However, when the tumor is adjacent to important anatomical structures, like the floor of the mouth, then possibility of complication should be considered by the maxillofacial surgeon. This paper reports a case of lipoma of the mouth floor, its surgical treatment and a short review of the literature.
KEY WORDS: lipoma, floor of the mouth, treatment
