  • Title: Maxillary sinus lipoma: an unanticipated diagnosis.
    Author: Uysal A, Kayiran O, Cuzdan SS, Bektas CI, Aslan G, Caydere M.
    Journal: J Craniofac Surg; 2007 Sep; 18(5):1153-5. PubMed ID: 17912102.
    Abstract:
    Subcutaneous tissue gives rise to numerous lesions such as lipoma, the most common benign soft tissue tumors. Lipoma is seen only extremely rarely in osseous units. In addition, craniofacial involvement of intraosseous lipoma may be misdiagnosed as a fibroosseous tumour such as fibrous dysplasia. Here, we present a case of an intraosseous lipoma obviously destroying and invading the maxillary bone.
