Abstract

A case of spindle cell lipoma extending from the cheek to submandibular region is presented. The patient was a 64-year-old man. Physical examination revealed a tender, smooth, painless mass, measuring 20cm. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a well circumscribed, internally heterogenous mass. This mass was removed surgically. The excised tumor weighed 580g and consisted of two tumors. One measured 18×16×10cm, and the other 4×5×4cm. The histopathological diagnosis was spindle cell lipoma. The postoperative course was uneventful. There have been no signs of recurrence. Spindle cell lipoma is extremely rare in the cheek. Giant spindle cell lipoma such as this case is particularly uncommon. This rare case is presented with some bibliographical comments.
