What is fibrolipoma?

Fibrolipoma is a rare type of lipoma that mostly forms in the oral cavity, such as the buccal mucosa, lips, tongue, palate, buccal vestibule, mouth floor, and retromolar area. They can also be found in extraoral sites such as the esophagus, pharynx, colon, trachea, larynx, etc.

It is a histological variant of the conventional lipoma and mainly forms in the buccal mucosa causing functional and cosmetic issues. Though these lumps are benign, they can be locally aggressive and difficult to manage.

Diagnosis

The doctor can confirm that the patient has lipoma through visual or physical examination. However, to further find out the exact type, the doctor will have to perform the following tests- 

  • A biopsy confirms that the tissues are not cancerous. 
  • Ultrasound is done to examine the lump and check the presence of vascularity in the lump. 
  • MRI scan is done to create detailed images of the fibrolipoma to detect abnormalities and whether or not the lump is affecting the surrounding tissues. 
  • CT scan is recommended to identify the exact size, location, and depth of the fibrolipoma.

Based on these test results, the doctor will choose the most appropriate technique to remove the fibrolipoma.

Are you going through any of these symptoms?

Risks & Complications If Left Untreated 

If a fibrolipoma is not removed on time, it can lead to the following complications- 

  • The lump will start causing discomfort in the affected region. 
  • As the lump grows, it may compress the underlying nerves and disrupt the blood flow. 
  • Depending on the location of the lump, it may affect the organ’s functioning. 
  • The lump may cause cosmetic concerns due to its visibility. 

Some people may even mistake a cancerous lipoma for a fibrolipoma if it is not diagnosed accurately. This will be seriously dangerous for your health. That’s why it is always recommended to see a doctor and get the lump diagnosed by a specialist.

Insurance Coverage

If a fibrolipoma is only a cosmetic concern and the condition is asymptomatic, its treatment won’t be covered by the health insurance company. The treatment is only covered when the fibrolipoma exhibits symptoms and causes functional problems to the affected organ. In this scenario, the treatment will be covered by insurance, and you can get proper treatment without worrying about the expense.

Frequently Asked Question

Can fibrolipoma form on any body part?

Though fewer cases have been reported of a fibrolipoma occurring on the back, it is a possibility. Fibrous tissues are present everywhere in the body. So, due to any reason, these tissues can accumulate with adipose tissues and form a fibrolipoma.

Is fibrolipoma cancerous?

No, a fibrolipoma is not cancerous and is usually harmless. But it is essential to get the lump evaluated to rule out the possibility of the lump being cancerous (liposarcoma), as the signs are similar in the earlier stages.

What is the difference between lipoma and fibrolipoma?

Lipomas are benign lumps composed of mature adipose tissues. However, they rarely arise in the oral cavity. Fibrolipomas are a variant of lipomas that mainly form in the oral cavity. They are composed of fibrous tissues.

What is the best method for fibrolipoma removal?

A fibrolipoma can be removed through laser surgery, liposuction, or excision. The best method of fibrolipoma removal is chosen after diagnosing the lump and accurately identifying its size, location, and depth.

Can I prevent fibrolipoma from growing?

It may not be possible to prevent a fibrolipoma from developing or growing. However, you can try some things to keep yourself healthy, such as adopting a healthy lifestyle, avoiding minor and recurrent injuries, and seeking treatment as soon as you notice the lump.
