Abstract
ABSTRACT
Oral spindle cell lipoma is a rare lesion and until now only 26 cases have been
reported in English literature. In this article we report a case of oral spindle cell
lipoma presented to our institution in July 2011, as an asymptomatic solitary
growth of the buccal mucosa in a 58 year old male patient. On histopathological
examination the lesion exhibited an admixture of adipocytes and spindle cells with
collagen fibres and numerous mast cells.
