Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A true lipoma is a rare lesion in the oral cavity. A histologically distinct variant is the spindle-cell variety, which is an innocuous lesion that can simulate a myxoid liposarcoma. We report a case of intra-oral spindle-cell lipoma in a 42-year-old female and have reviewed the literature pertaining to this unusual histopathological entity. Awareness of the condition is essential for both clinicians and pathologists to avoid any misinterpretation of the benign nature of this condition.
