Das Lipom der LippeEine seltene Differenzialdiagnose

We report on a 49 year-old female patient with a cherry-sized tumor of the lower lip, which over several years had steadily increased in size. The patient was psychologically affected by the appearance of the tumor and had difficulties to eat. We excised the tumor in local anaesthesia. Histology confirmed the clinical suspicion of lipoma. A total of four lipomas at this location have been reported world-wide.
