Lipomas are the most common benign soft tissue tumors, but they are rarely seen in the oral cavity comprising no more than 1 to 5% of all neoplasms. In the oral region, they are observed mostly in salivary glands, buccal region, floor of the mouth, tongue and lips which are generally well-defined, mobile, painless, slowly growing solitary or lobulated lesions.  Lipomas in the buccal region and in the oral cavity may cause chewing, speech, and cosmetic problems. In most of the patients, they are diagnosed in early stages and rarely reach very big dimensions. Treatment of lipoma is performed via surgical excision by cutaneous or intraoral approach. Here with, we report a case of giant lipoma which was resected through transoral route. Key words: Soft tissue neoplasm, buccal mucosa, lipoma, oral surgical procedures
