SOTO UGALDE, Alain. Lipoma associated with the oral cavity chin nerve: a case study. Medisur [online]. 2020, vol.18, n.2, pp. 256-264.  Epub 02-Abr-2020. ISSN 1727-897X.

Lipoma is one of the benign tumors which may appear in the oral cavity. The present work aims at describing the clinical case of a patient with a lipoma in the oral cavity with involvement of the chin nerve. The patient presented to the Maxillofacial Surgery Service of the University General Hospital Dr. Gustavo Aldereguía Lima, Cienfuegos, Cuba with an increase in volume in the left lower vestibular groove, with approximately two months of evolution. On oral examination, an increase in volume of approximately 2 cm in diameter was observed in this region at the level of 33 and 34 cm of hard, elastic consistency, mobile, not painful to palpation, of yellowish coloration, covered with normally colored mucosa. For these reasons it was decided to carry out study and surgical treatment. In the operation the association of the tumor with the inferior chin nerve was confirmed and its conservation was performed, with satisfactory clinical evolution, but with the complication of paresthesia in the left lower hemi lip.
