Abstract
Lipoma is the most common benign soft tissue mesenchymal neoplasm, which occasionally occurs in the oral cavity. It has many variants
such as infiltrating lipoma, fibrolipoma, angiolipoma, spindle cell/pleomorphic lipoma, myxolipoma, chondroid lipoma, osteolipoma, and
myolipoma. Myolipoma is a rare benign lipomatous soft tissue tumor which is diagnosed histologically because of presence of irregularly
admixed mature adipose tissue and smooth muscle fibers. The most common site of its occurrence is retroperitoneum, abdominal and
pelvic cavity, and the abdominal wall. Rarely myolipomas occur in the oral and maxillofacial region. Here, we present a rare case of intraoral
myolipoma present in the buccal mucosa of a 6-year-old child.
