Resumo
Lipomas are benign tumors of mature adipocytes unusual
in the oral and maxillofacial region. The average size of cheek
lipomas in the literature ranges from 1.5 to 2.5 cm, with the
maximum size of 5 cm. Their etiology remains unclear. Lipomas
present, clinically, as well circumscribed, slow growing, painless
masses, usually treated by complete excision. The aim of this paper
is to present a 78-year-old Caucasian male patient with a huge cheek
lipoma compromising facial esthetics and treated through an
intraoral excision. Postoperative period was uneventful with no
signs of recurrence. Concluding, the intraoral approach is a relatively simple technique that should be taken into account when
considering the surgical removal of cheek lipomas
