Resumo: Purpose: To report a rare case of intraosseous lipoma of the mandible and to discuss the most important features of the lesion, emphasizing the diagnostic pitfall that this entity may represent for general dentists and radiologists. Case description: An 18-year-old male patient presented an asymptomatic radiolucent lesion in the mandible in the region of the teeth 43 and 44 with no clinical alteration. After the incisional biopsy the histopathological exam revealed a capsulated lesion predominantly composed of mature adipose tissue and some areas of dystrophic calcification confirming the diagnosis of intraosseous lipoma. The lesion was surgically removed and no signs of recurrence could be observed after six months of follow-up. Conclusion: Due to the unspecific clinical and radiographic features and its rarity the intraosseous lipoma of the mandible may be a diagnostic challenge for general dentists and radiologists. Therefore, the histopathological examination is required for the correct diagnosis of the lesion.

Descrição do caso: Paciente do sexo masculino, 18 anos de idade apresentava uma lesão radiolúcida assintomática na mandíbula na região dos dentes 43 e 44 sem qualquer alteração clínica. Após a biópsia incisional, o exame histopatológico evidenciou uma lesão encapsulada composta majoritariamente por tecido adiposo benigno e algumas áreas de calcificações distróficas confirmando o diagnóstico de lipoma intra-ósseo. A lesão foi cirurgicamente removida e nenhum sinal de recorrência foi observado após seis meses de acompanhamento. Conclusão: Devido às características clínicas e radiográficas inespecíficas e à sua raridade, o lipoma intra-ósseo de mandíbula pode representar um desafio diagnóstico para cirurgiões dentistas e radiologistas. Portanto, o exame histopatológico é fundamental para o correto diagnóstico da lesão.EDIPUCRS - Editora Universitária da PUCRS2011-05-03info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed Articlerelato de casoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/otherapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fo/article/view/7931Revista Odonto Ciência; Vol. 26 No. 2 (2011); 182 - 186Revista Odonto Ciência; v. 26 n. 2 (2011); 182 - 1861980-65230102-9460reponame:Revista odonto ciência (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSenghttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fo/article/view/7931/6511Silva, Brunno Santos FreitasYamamoto, Fernanda PaulaPontes, Flávia Sirotheau CorrêaFonseca, Felipe PaivaPontes, Hélder Antônio RebeloJúnior, Décio dos Santos Pintoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2013-11-11T12:02:46Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/7931Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/foPRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fo/oai||odontociencia@pucrs.br1980-65230102-9460opendoar:2013-11-11T12:02:46Revista odonto ciência (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false
