Abstract
Spindle cell lipoma of the oral cavity is extremely rare. We report a case occurring
on the alveolar mucosa, an oral site that has not been previously reported. A short
review of the literature is also presented. The importance of distinguishing this
benign lesion from a sarcoma is highlighted. The lesion was excised, and no recurrence
has been reported after 2 years. (Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol Endod 2002;93:171-3)
