Lipoma may occur anywhere adipose tissue exists, but is rarely found in the oral region. In this region, the buccal mucosa, tongue and oral fundus are often found to be affected.<BR>We recently experienced three cases of lipoma arising in the alveolar gingival region of a 58 year-old female, a 60 year-old male and a 61 year-old male. The clinical courses are described in this paper.<BR>The tumors in these cases were excised under local anesthesia. From histological examination, the diagnoses of lipoma were made based on the fact that the circumscribed mass of mature fat cells were observed below thin fibrous connective tissue. These lipomas were each found to be supported by a connective tissue stroma with blood vessels. The prognosis of the three cases are favorable with no sign of relapse.
