Giant buccal lipoma resected through transoral approach

Abstract

Lipomas are the most common benign soft tissue tumors, but they are rarely seen in the oral cavity comprising no more than 1 to 5% of all neoplasms. In the oral region, they are observed mostly in salivary glands, buccal region, floor of the mouth, tongue and lips which are generally well-defined, mobile, painless, slowly growing solitary or lobulated lesions.  Lipomas in the buccal region and in the oral cavity may cause chewing, speech, and cosmetic problems. In most of the patients, they are diagnosed in early stages and rarely reach very big dimensions. Treatment of lipoma is performed via surgical excision by cutaneous or intraoral approach. Here with, we report a case of giant lipoma which was resected through transoral route.

Transoral yaklaşımla rezeke edilen dev bukkal lipom

Abstract

 Lipomlar en sık görülen benign yumuşak doku tümörler olmasına rağmen oral bölgede nadir görülür. Bu bölgedeki tüm neoplaziler arasındaki oran yaklaşık 1-5% kadardır. Oral bölgede en sık tükrük bezleri, bukkal bölge, ağız tabanı, dil ve dudaklarda izlenir. Genellikle yavaş ve ağrısız büyüyen, iyi sınırlı, mobil, tek veya lobüle lezyonlardır. Bukkal bölgedeki ve oral kavitedeki lipomlar çiğneme, konuşma fonksiyonlarında güçlük ve dış görünüm sorunlarına yol açtıklarından dolayı fazla büyümeden teşhis edilirler. Çok büyük boyutlara ulaşması nadirdir. Tedavisi intraoral veya kutanöz yaklaşımla cerrahi eksizyondur. Biz bu yayında bukkal bölgedeki oldukça büyük boyutlara ulaşmış ve intraoral yolla tedavi ettiğimiz bir lipom vakasını literatür ışığında sunmayı amaçladık.
