The lipomas are slow-growing benign neoplasms. They are characterized by a smooth-surfaced, sessile or pedunculated, yellow-to-pink submucosal mass that is usually asymptomatic. Superficially situated lesions show a telangiectatic vascular network. Deeper lesions may only be noticed as a subtle swelling, making them difficult to detect and treat. Despite its relative infrequency in the mouth, clinicians should be aware of the possibility of lipoma when diagnosing nonulcerated, soft-tissue masses of the mouth. Proper treatment consists of surgical excision, histologic examination, and patient follow-up.
脂肪瘤是生长缓慢的良性肿瘤。其特征为表面光滑、无柄或有蒂、呈黄色至粉红色的黏膜下肿块，通常无症状。浅表病变可见扩张的血管网。较深的病变可能仅表现为轻微肿胀，难以察觉和治疗。尽管脂肪瘤在口腔中相对少见，但临床医生在诊断口腔非溃疡性软组织肿块时应考虑到脂肪瘤的可能性。恰当的治疗包括手术切除、组织学检查及患者随访。
