Abstract
|
|
|
|
Lipoma is relatively uncommon in the oral cavity, representing 1?5% of benign oral tumors. Lipoma of the oral cavity may occur in any region; the buccal mucosa, tongue, lip, and mouth floor are among the common sites. The majority of cases of oral lipoma occur after the age of 40 years, and it is not observed frequently in children. Congenital lipoma of the palate is extremely rare. Here we present a rare case of congenital lipoma of the palate associated with cleft palate of a neonate, and review the relevant literature. Surgical excision of the tumor was successful. The present case is the third case of congenital lipoma of the palate associated with cleft palate reported in the literature.
