Resumo

Lipoma is a benign neoplasm that primarily affects middle-aged individuals and is rare in the maxillomandibular region.
Most lipomas are between 2 and 15 mm in diameter. Although rare, they can reach large dimensions and cause aesthetic and
functional problems such as dysphonia, dysphagia, and facial asymmetry. We report a case of an extensive lipoma invading
the masseter muscle region with a 2-year history in a 36-year-old man who underwent surgery under general anesthesia.
A well-circumscribed neoplasm composed of mature adipocytes with a thin fibrous capsule was seen on histopathology analysis.
The 6-month follow-up showed good healing without recurrence.
