Soft tissue lipoma with the radiographic appearance of a neoplasm within the mandibular canal.

Lipomas and lipoma variants are common soft tissue tumours but are not commonly found in the oral and maxillofacial region. We report a case of a classic lipoma located on the medial aspect of the mandibular ramus, but not within bone, first seen by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon during treatment planning for routine extractions. Initial panoramic radiography indicated an expansive tumour in the area of the mandibular foramen and proximal end of the mandibular canal, apparently within the body of the mandible. Subsequent imaging with CT revealed a well-circumscribed soft tissue tumour on the medial aspect of the left mandibular ramus, not within the bone itself. Histological analysis of the operative specimen indicated a classic lipoma.
