Abstract

Myolipoma is a rare biphasic, benign neoplasm that consists of mature adipocytes and smooth muscle cells. It is well-demarcated, with a soft to slimy yellow-white cut surface. Clinically it most often occurs within soft tissue in the abdominal cavity or retroperitoneum, but other locations such as the round ligaments, pericardium, and eyelid have been reported. We herein report a rare case of myolipoma which arose on the right upper lip area in a 68-year-old female.
