Abstract	Lipoma, a very common benign tumor of mesenchymal origin can emerge anywhere in the body; however, its intra-oral counterparts are very rare, with approximately 1-4% occurring in the oral cavity. Typically appearing as painless, soft, smooth nodules with a yellowish hue, it often affects regions like the buccal mucosa, tongue, and floor of the mouth. Surgical removal is the preferred treatment due to its benign nature and low recurrence rate. Histological examination remains the gold standard in the definitive diagnosis of the lipoma. Here, we present a case of an intraoral lipoma in a 32-year-old woman located on the right mandibular buccal vestibule, managed through surgical excision. Documenting rare cases like this contributes to a better understanding of the prevalence and clinical features of these tumors.
Keywords	Lipoma, Intra-oral, benign soft tissue tumors, adipose tissue.
