We report a case of intramuscular lipoma of the left buccal region, along with a review of the relevant literature. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a spindle–shaped mass extending from the canine region to the anterior portion of the masseter muscle in the buccal–alveolar portion of the left mandible. The inner part was visualized as homogeneous high–signal intensity on both T1– and T2–weighted images, and a partial linear region with the same signal intensity as muscle was also observed. The removed tumor measured 35×40×15mm in size, and histopathological findings showed an intramuscular lipoma composed of adipose, muscle and connective tissues. Intramuscular lipomas account for 1.7%–2% of all lipomas, and they very rarely occur in the oral and maxillofacial region. Twenty–three cases with intramuscular lipomas in the oral and maxillofacial region, including our case, have been reported in Japan. The postoperative healing process is generally good. We followed–up our patient after explaining to him the importance of careful, long–term follow–up. It has been only 2 months, to date, since surgery but the outcome appears to be good. |
