Lipomas are common benign neoplasms of oral region which occur scarcely in the parapharyngeal space (PPS). The diversity observed in its histologic presentation classified it into many subtypes among which Spindle Cell Lipoma (SCL) is a rare entity. SCL is an uncommon benign tumor of adipose tissue usually located superficially in the neck, back and shoulder region but its presentation in oral and pharyngeal spaces is very rare. Exhaustive literature search for oral and pharyngeal space pleomorphic SCL till date revealed 45 cases of oral SCL with a mean age distribution of 55 years. Only one reported case of parapharyngeal occurrence of pleomorphic SCL was found. A rare case of pleomorphic variant of SCL in PPS extending into the buccal space is being presented. This case could be the first to report the multiple presentation and the youngest age of occurrence of SCL in PPS.
脂肪瘤是口腔区域常见的良性肿瘤，很少发生于咽旁间隙（PPS）。其组织学表现多样，可分为多种亚型，其中梭形细胞脂肪瘤（SCL）是一种罕见类型。SCL是一种不常见的脂肪组织良性肿瘤，通常位于颈部、背部和肩部浅表部位，但其在口腔和咽间隙的表现非常罕见。迄今为止，对口腔和咽间隙多形性SCL进行的详尽文献检索显示，有45例口腔SCL病例，平均年龄分布为55岁。仅发现1例咽旁发生多形性SCL的报道病例。本文报告1例罕见的PPS中SCL多形性变体延伸至颊间隙的病例。该病例可能是首例报告PPS中SCL出现多种表现且发病年龄最小的病例。
