Lipoma is a painless soft tissue tumour of the mesenchymal origin, which is slow growing and well circumscribed. The occurrence of lipoma is rare in the oral cavity (1-4%); however, the frequency is much higher in the head and neck region. The tumour is mostly present in the buccal mucosa, lips, tongue, palate, buccal sulcus and floor of the mouth. Sometimes the tumour becomes large enough to cause difficulty in speech and mastication. Histologically, lipoma is composed of mature fat cells, surrounded by normal fat. We present two cases of intraoral lipoma in two female patients.
脂肪瘤是一种起源于间充质的无痛性软组织肿瘤，生长缓慢且边界清晰。脂肪瘤在口腔中的发生率较低（1%-4%）；然而，在头颈部区域的发生率要高得多。该肿瘤大多出现在颊黏膜、嘴唇、舌头、腭部、颊沟和口腔底部。有时肿瘤会变得足够大，导致言语和咀嚼困难。从组织学上看，脂肪瘤由成熟的脂肪细胞组成，周围是正常脂肪组织。我们报告两例女性患者的口腔内脂肪瘤病例。
