The intraoral lipoma is a slow-growing, usually asymptomatic, neoplasm of adipose tissue origin. The superficially located lipoma is fairly characteristic in its clinical appearance, a smooth-surfaced, yellowish-pink mass covered by a readily visible vascular network. The deep-seated tumors do not have this characteristic clinical appearance, and consequently are more difficult to detect and remove. Patients tend to overlook these lesions because they are so innocuous. Clinicians, however, should be aware of this uncommon neoplasm and consider it when diagnosing nonulcerated, soft tissue masses in the oral cavity. Surgical excision and microscopic examination are recommended for these lesions.
口腔脂肪瘤是一种生长缓慢、通常无症状的脂肪组织起源的肿瘤。浅表性脂肪瘤在临床表现上具有相当特征性，是一个表面光滑、呈黄粉色的肿块，上面覆盖着易于看见的血管网。深部肿瘤不具有这种特征性临床表现，因此更难检测和切除。患者往往会忽略这些病变，因为它们看起来无害。然而，临床医生应该了解这种罕见的肿瘤，并在诊断口腔内非溃疡性软组织肿块时考虑到它。建议对这些病变进行手术切除并做显微镜检查。
