Abstract EN
Spindle cell lipoma (SCL) is a rare distinct variant of lipoma, which presents as a painless, circumscribed, slow-growing, superficial lesion on the lip and can mimic a minor salivary gland tumour.
We present a slow growing lower lip lesion and its management.
Case Report.
A 38-year-old female gave an eight-year history of a slow-growing mass on her lower lip with intermittent change in size.
She presented with a submucosal nodule and thin overlying mucosa adjacent to the vermilion border.
Surgical excision was carried as the diagnostic and therapeutic approach.
Conclusion.
Lip SCL is rare, and surgical excision is advocated in order to exclude underlying pathology and minor salivary gland tumours.
