Intraoral Lipomas represent about 1 to 5% of all neoplasms of the oral cavity. The benign nature of lipomas is supported by its bland pathologic appearance and absence of recurrence following complete removal. With a wide array of lesions to be considered in the differential diagnosis, clinicians must be aware of such rare lesions to treat the patient appropriately. Here we report a rare case of lipoma presenting on the buccal mucosa.
