Abstract

Lipomas are benign mesenchymal neoplasms composed of mature adipocytes, usually surrounded by a thin fibrous capsule. They are uncommon extraoral tumors with 1% to4% occurring in this region. Here we present a case of unilateral swelling at angle of left mandible with surgical excision and no signs of recurrence postoperatively.

Keywords: Extraoral tumors; Lipomas; Excision
