MOLANO VALENCIA, PABLO EMILIO; BETANCOURT RIVERA, VANESSA ALEJANDRA y RUIZ MAZUERA, LINA MARÍA. GINGIVAL LIPOMA: A CASE REPORT. Rev Fac Odontol Univ Antioq [online]. 2017, vol.29, n.1, pp.211-221. ISSN 0121-246X. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.rfo.v29n1a11.
The lipoma is a benign neoplasm of slow growth composed of mature fatty cells, usually surrounded by a thin fibrous capsule. It does not commonly appear in the oral cavity, corresponding to 0.1 to 5% of benign tumors of the mouth. This article presents the case of a 76-year old female patient with a lesion on papilla and vestibular area between molars 46 and 47, measuring approximately 1.3 x 1.0 cm. The lesion was nucleated and subjected to histological examination, being compatible with a lipoma. This article describes its clinical features, differential diagnosis with other diseases of the oral cavity, and its respective management.
