Popis: Summary The literature on Lipomata and intra-oral Lipomata is reviewed and a series of 24 cases presented. In this series the mean age of presentation of the male patients was 53.8 years, whereas that of the females was 63.1 years. 33.3% of the tumours occurred on the inner aspect of the cheeks and of these 8 cases, six were males. Of the eight lesions occurring in the floor of the mouth and retromolar areas, all but one occurred in females. Evidence is presented to support the claim that intra-oral lipomata are indeed common benign neoplasms.
