A Lipoma is a benign neoplasm composed of adipose tissue that has a general distribution relatively common but its frequency is low in the mouth, which does not even reach 1% of benign neoplasia. The first cases with lipomas in the oral cavity were reported by Mc Gregor and D. P. Dyson in 1966. The lesion typical clinical presentation is rounded, of soft consistency, well-demarcated, yellowish and slows growing. In oral cavity its most common location is the cheek, floor of the mouth and tongue. Lipomas have been rarely reported in the mandibular and maxillary sinus bone. A 35-year-old male patient was reported in this article. The patient had undergone a surgery eight years ago of a similar injury and five years ago this asymptomatic growth appeared. Examinations and punch biopsy were indicated. The results showed a myxolipoma. The patient underwent three-dimensional exeresis plasty with good results. The patient is currently followed up in medical consultation
