Spindle Cell Lipoma on the Floor of the Mouth

Spindle Cell Lipoma (SCL) is a benign lipomatous histological variant of lipoma which is rarely observed in the oral cavity. It presents as a circumscribed mass in the buccal mucosa, tongue, floor of the mouth or hard palate. In English literature there are nearly 10 case reports of SCL on the mouth floor, all of which were treated with local excision. A case is here presented of intraoral spindle cell lipoma on the floor of the mouth of a 49-year old female. Although oral SCL is rare, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of lipamatous neoplasms occurring on the mouth floor.
