    Author: Oliveros-Chaparro C, Bogarin-Rodríguez J, Sánchez-Méndez M.

    Abstract:
    The fibrolipoma is a benign tumor variant of the lipoma, characterized by the presence of adipose and fibrous tissues. The authors report a case of a big oral fibrolipoma in a 72 year old woman. After surgery, a mass of 13 x 8 x 6 cm was obtained. The tumor had an implantation pedicle of 1 cm, on the floor of the mouth. The microscopic evaluation showed the presence of polygonal cells grouped into nests and separated by fibrous connective tissue septa. We have not found any report in the literature related to a fibrolipoma located on the floor of the mouth with the characteristics presented in this work.
