Case Report: Mandibular Osteolipoma, ALTAIB A. MOHAMMED

 

Abstract
Introduction: Osteolipoma is an uncommon lesion that rarely occurs in the oral cavity.
Subjects and Method: A 50-year-old man presented with a 5-year history of a small painless mass in the right lingual mandibular alveolar mucosa adjacent to the 1st molar tooth. The lesion was easily excised under local anaesthesia and sent for pathological examination.
Result: Histologically, the lesion was confirmed to be an osteolipoma. Recurrence was observed after one year follow-up.
Conclusion: Although osteolipoma is very rare in the oral cavity, it is important to keep them in mind when a lesion with adipose tissue in combination with ossification is en-countered.
