- Abstract
Fibrolipoma (FL) is a rare subtype of a benign neoplasm as of lipoma, as well as being rarely present in the maxillo-facial area. The reported case is a significant cause for the natural history description of the development of the maxillary sinus immediately adjacent to the lesion was affected. The authors report the case of a female patient, aged 9. In the case reported by us, during a 5-year observation, the development of pediatric fibrolipoma in the base of skull. In addition, after the surgery, orthodontic disturbances developed. Such a course may plead in favour for the necessity of an earlier decision on surgical treatment. Our report is a significant contribution to knowledge of the natural history of FL development the development of pediatric fibrolipoma in the base of skull. It shows that growth of the tumour, though very slow, is progressive and changes regional anatomy and function. Therefore, after the primary diagnosis of FL, surgical treatment without a long follow-up should be strongly considered.
