| Abstract: Lipomas are benign mesenchymal tumors of adipose tissue that can develop in all tissues of the human body. Localization in the oral cavity, whether on the tongue, lips or cheek, is rare; In this article, we report the case of a 64-year-old hypertensive patient undergoing treatment and a chronic smoker weaned 10 years ago, who consulted us for a mass pedicled on the gum of the edentulous alveolar ridge of mandibular sector 3. The CT scan was in favour of a lipoma, and total excision confirmed the diagnosis. Intraoral localization of lipomas is rare, and localization on the attached gingiva has never been reported in the literature. Treatment remains surgical, with anatomopathological examination the only way to confirm the diagnosis and rule out a malignant lesion. lipoma is a frequent benign tumor whose etiopathogenesis remains poorly elucidated. Localization in the oral cavity is rare, particularly on the attached gingiva, and treatment is usually surgical | ||
