Oral lipomas, though rare, predominantly affect the buccal mucosa, tongue, and lips. The occurrence of lipomas in the palate is extremely rare. Osteolipoma is a very rare histological variant of lipoma accounting for less than 1% of all cases. Although a few cases involving the soft palate have been reported, there is only one reported case of osteolipoma of the hard palate in the English-language literature and it was a congenital osteolipoma associated with a cleft palate in a 6-year-old male child. This paper aims to describe an additional case uniquely located in the hard palate of an adult female.
口腔脂肪瘤虽然罕见，但主要累及颊黏膜、舌和唇部。腭部脂肪瘤的发生极为罕见。骨脂肪瘤是脂肪瘤一种非常罕见的组织学变异类型，占所有病例的比例不到1%。尽管已有少数累及软腭的病例报道，但英文文献中仅有1例硬腭骨脂肪瘤的报道，该病例为一名6岁男童的先天性骨脂肪瘤，伴有腭裂。本文旨在描述另一例位于成年女性硬腭的独特病例。
