Sialolipoma is a new variant of salivary gland lipoma first described in 2001. We present 2 cases of sialolipoma involving the soft palate and buccal mucosa of 2 female patients. A review of the English language literature revealed 16 cases of sialolipoma reported thus far. We have reviewed the clinicopathologic features of the literature cases and are adding the present 2 cases for a total of 18 cases. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of sialolipoma involving the buccal mucosa and the second case in the soft palate. The purpose of this publication is to increase awareness of this recently described variant of lipoma and to address the diagnostic challenges posed both clinically and histopathologically.
涎脂瘤是涎腺脂肪瘤的一种新变种，于2001年首次被描述。我们报告2例累及2名女性患者软腭和颊黏膜的涎脂瘤。对英文文献的回顾显示，迄今为止已报道16例涎脂瘤。我们回顾了文献病例的临床病理特征，并将目前这2例纳入，共计18例。据我们所知，这是涎脂瘤累及颊黏膜的首例报告，也是软腭的第二例。本出版物的目的是提高对这种最近描述的脂肪瘤变种的认识，并应对临床和组织病理学方面提出的诊断挑战。
