who presented a swelling of left cheek.
After surgical removal of the lesion pathological finding was found an

Lipomlar
matür adipositlerden oluşan ince fibröz bir kapsül ile çevrili iyi huylu bir mezenkimal
neoplazidir. Genellikle gövde ve boyunda yerleşimlidir ancak oral kavitede çok
nadir görülür. Biz burada sol yanağında şişlik ile gelen 48 yaşındaki erkek
hastayı sunduk. Lezyon cerrahi olarak çıkarıldıktan sonra patoloji sonucu oral
lipom olarak tespit edildi.
