Abstract
- Rationale: Oral liposarcoma is an extremely rare lesion that is often clinically misdiagnosed as a benign lesion because of its asymptomatic and indolent clinical course. we report a case of atypical lipomatous tumor/well-differentiated liposarcoma (ALT/WDL) of buccal mucosa, provisionally diagnosed as lipoma.<br />Patient Concerns: A 97-year-old female was referred to dentistry and oral surgery department with an asymptomatic mass on the right buccal mucosa which had been present for an unknown period of time.<br />Diagnosis: Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a well-circumscribed lesion at the right buccal mucosa, and a lipoma was suspected.<br />Interventions: Surgical removal was performed, and a diagnosis of ALT/WDL was made. She and her family refused additional treatment due to her age.<br />Outcomes: At the 10 months follow-up, the patient remained free of disease.<br />Lessons: The indolent clinical course and small size of oral liposarcoma can lead to provisional clinical diagnosis of benign lesion.
