    Author: Dastoor PP, Patil RU, Singh Chauhan R, Palaskar SJ, Shah DR.
    Journal: J Dent Child (Chic); 2018 Jan 15; 85(1):36-39. PubMed ID: 29663974.
    Abstract:
    Lipoma is very common benign tumor of adipose tissue, but its presence in the oral cavity is rare. Fibrolipoma is a histological variant of lipoma that affects the buccal mucosa and nasal septum in the orofacial region and causes functional and cosmetic issues. However, this lesion has not been reported on the upper lip and may be confused with other soft tissue lesions of children. Hence, accurate histopathological examination of lipomas is important for a correct treatment plan. The purpose of this report is to describe the case of an 11-year-old boy with fibrolipoma of the upper lip.
