    This was followed by the buccal mucosa, which occurred in 27% of all lesions. Other locations included the floor of mouth, lip, hard palate, gingival mucosa, anterior pillar of tonsil, and an intraosseous lesion in the maxilla [1,3,6–33]. Lipomas have been reportedly been found in both the maxilla and the mandible [34], but only 1 case of intraosseous spindle cell lipoma has been reported [28].

    A histopathologic differential diagnosis appropriate to the oral cavity would include ordinary lipoma (if the spindle cells are localized)10 and fibrosarcoma if spindle cells are numerous.8 Other lesions to consider would be schwannoma, myxoid neurofibroma, leiomyoma, nodular fasciitis, myxolipoma, fibrolipoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma,2,5,9,14 and myxoid solitary fibrous tumor.18 The spindle cell lipoma also must be distinguished from liposarcomas with a predominantly spindle cell pattern such as well-differentiated sclerosing liposarcoma or myxoid liposarcoma.
