Özet
Fibrolipoma is a rare, benign mesencyhmal tumour composed of mature adipose and mature collagenous fibrous tissue which is histologically classified as a variant of lipoma. Fibrolipomas may develop as solitary lesions anywhere on the body. However, involvement of the mucosal sites including the oral cavity, parotid gland, oesophagus and intestine is rare. In the oral mucosa, it is usually observed as a nodular, smooth surfaced, pedunculated or sessile mass. Here, we report unilateral multiple fibrolipomas on the right side of the face together with the ipsilateral oral mucosal involvement in a 46 year-old male patient.
