The buccal fat pad (BFP) has prompted numerous publications in anatomy, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery over the years; however, description of surgical treatment of pathologic conditions affecting this space is rare, especially in children. An extensive search of the English literature retrieved only five lipomas and one hemangioma in this age group. The authors report on two of these exceptional pediatric tumors of the BFP: one lipoma and one hemangioma referred to the outpatient clinic for diagnosis and treatment. Both children had a similar clinical presentation and a characteristic MR image. The two lesions were excised through an intraoral approach, which proved to be a fast, safe and effective technique. Being extremely rare, tumors of the BFP in children have an indicative clinical presentation and radiologic image. A detailed intraoral approach is described and proposed as effective and safe surgical treatment.
颊脂垫（BFP）多年来在解剖学、重建和美容外科领域引发了众多出版物；然而，描述影响该区域的病理状况的手术治疗方法却很少见，尤其是在儿童中。对英文文献的广泛搜索仅在该年龄段中检索到五个脂肪瘤和一个血管瘤。作者报告了其中两个颊脂垫的罕见儿科肿瘤：一个脂肪瘤和一个血管瘤，因诊断和治疗而被转诊至门诊。两个孩子的临床表现和特征性磁共振成像均相似。两个病变均通过口腔内入路切除，该入路被证明是一种快速、安全且有效的技术。由于极其罕见，儿童的颊脂垫肿瘤具有提示性的临床表现和影像学图像。详细的口腔内入路被描述并被提议作为有效且安全的手术治疗方法。
