Lipomas of the oral cavity are uncommon. Here we report a case of 85 year old female presenting with a progressively increasing large growth in the oropharynx which was diagnosed as lipoma on histopathology. The clinicoradiological and histopathological findings are discussed. To the best of our knowledge; this is one of the largest intraoral lipoma reported in India till date. The present case highlights the need to be aware of intraoral lipomas which can present as large growths at this unusual site so as to avoid any unwarranted aggressive surgery.
口腔脂肪瘤并不常见。在此，我们报告一例85岁女性病例，其口咽部有一个逐渐增大的肿物，经组织病理学诊断为脂肪瘤。文中讨论了临床放射学和组织病理学检查结果。据我们所知，这是印度迄今为止报告的最大的口腔内脂肪瘤之一。该病例强调了对于可能在这个不寻常部位以较大肿物形式出现的口腔脂肪瘤需要提高认识，以避免进行任何不必要的激进手术。
