Chromosomal Aberrations of a Pediatric Intra Oral Lipoma: A Rare Case Report and Cytogenetic Forecasting

Rapala Harika*, Daneshwari V, Parsa Arun, Raveen Teja P

Lipomas are the most virtual type of soft tissue mesenchymal tumors which develop on the trunk and proximal portions of the extremities in elderly people of age supra 40 years. However, intraoral lipomas are very rare in children. Cytogenetic abnormalities have been found to be common in lipomatous tumors and to correlate reliably with morphological subtypes. We present a rare case of an intraoral lipoma in a five year old child along with its cytogenetic review. While histological diagnosis is a paragon of excellence for diagnosis in lipomatous tumors, cytogenetic analysis is quickly expanding its horizons to be an integral part of the diagnostic work up.
