Abstract: | Fibrolipoma is a rare variant of lipoma with a mixture of fibrous connective tissue. Clinically, it presents as an asymptomatic, slowly growing mass with a smooth, firm, or soft consistency. Although fibrolipoma can occur in any part of the body, in the head region it mainly occurs in the oral cavity and sometimes in the lip, parotid gland, nose, and cheek. We present the first case of a 65-year-old man with a submuscular fibrolipoma of the forehead that showed no evidence of recurrence after excision. |
