Congenital lipoma of the hard palate: case report

Congenital tumours of the oral cavity are uncommon, and most of them are teratoid. Lipoma is a benign tumour of adipose tissue commonly found in adults, and it is rare to find one that is congenital. They are most commonly found in the tongue and maxillary gingiva,1 and to the best of our knowledge, only two cases of lipoma have been reported in the hard palate (Okamoto et al and Gokul et al reported a congenital fibrolipoma and an osteolipoma that were associated with cleft palate, respectively).
