Lipomas are the most common benign tumors. However, their presence in oral cavity is albeit erratic. Even scarcer is the prevalence of the various histopathological variants. We, hereby, report the wide range of clinical and histopathologic presentations of these uncommon entities affecting the orofacial region. Discussed herein are six cases of lipomas, two cases of intramuscular lipomas and one case each of osteolipoma and sialolipoma.
