Abstract

Lipomas are benign soft tissue mesenchymal neoplasms. Fibrolipoma is a rare histological variant of lipoma that mostly affects the buccal mucosa and causes functional and cosmetic disabilities. The diagnosis and differentiation of fibrolipoma with clinically similar lesions such as fibroma and pleomorphic adenoma is very essential for a correct treatment plan and complete followup. This article presents a case of a 50 year-old female with a fibrolipoma of tonsillar fossa.
