Description
Ngokwe and colleagues present a 2026 case report of a lipoma, a benign fat tumor, inside the mouth of a 52-year-old woman. Oral lipomas are rare compared with lipomas elsewhere, and this one grew slowly without pain, pushing her face out of symmetry. The team removed it through the mouth under local anesthesia.
Tissue study after removal confirmed the diagnosis of a simple lipoma. At follow-up the facial asymmetry had faded and the wound healed well. Working through the mouth leaves no visible scar, which matters on the face. The report walks the full path from first exam to final check. It reminds clinicians that a soft, painless, slow mouth swelling in a middle-aged adult is often this harmless tumor, best confirmed by removing and testing it.
