Abstract: 

Adipose tissue tumors are uncommon. The most prevalent benign tumors are lipomas. Their presence in the oral cavity is, nevertheless, irregular. The prevalence of the different histopathological variations is even rarer. Amongst malignant variants, the liposarcoma is common but is rarely presented in oral cavity. The WHO 2022 classification has tried to add new entities along with their molecular alterations and immunohistochemical markers. The present review is gives a brief note about the different tumors of adipocytes associated with oral cavity.
