Abstract
Lipoma is a benign neoplasm composed of mature fat cells and usually circumscribed by a fibrous capsule. The fat cells are arranged in irregular lobules, partitioned by fibrous septa with supportive vascular channels. Lipoma of the oral cavity is uncommon, and has been reported to be infrequent in the literature in the world so far. An oral lipoma mainly occurs in the cheek and tongue. Surgical excision is the only treatment recommended, and prognosis is uniformly excellent. Recently we experienced two cases of lipoma of the oral cavity and removed the tumor completely by surgical excision.
