AbstractAbstract PDF
Lipomas are one of the most common mesenchymal tumors in the human body, exhibiting a heightened prevalence between the ages of 40 and 60 years. However, primary intraoral lipomas are rare. Myxoid lipoma, which is characterized by abundant mucoid components, is a particularly rare histological subtype of lipoma. This study presents two cases of myxoid lipoma that occurred outside the common age range for occurrence, one in the right submandibular area of a 67-year-old male and the other in the lower lip of a 3-year-old child. Through these case reports, the aim was to introduce myxoid lipoma, a rare subtype affecting facial areas, and provide a brief review to assist in the differential diagnosis, emphasizing the importance of pathological assessment. Even in age groups and anatomical locations not typically associated with lipomas, it is crucial to emphasize the necessity of careful evaluation.
