    <abstract locale="en_US">Lipomas are rare benign soft tissue mesenchymal neoplasms in the oral cavity,
representing 1% of all benign oral tumors. Fibrolipoma (FL), an uncommon, histological
variant of the classic lipoma, mostly affects the buccal mucosa. Very few cases of FL have
been reported in the English literature. To the best of our knowledge a review of the English
literature showed 33 cases of FL affecting the oral cavity.
The diagnosis and differentiation of FL with clinically similar lesions such as fibroma,
mucocele and pleomorphic adenoma are very essential for a correct treatment plan and
complete follow-up. Due to the rarity of oral cavity fibrolipoma reports, three cases and a
review of literature is presented here.</abstract>
