ABSTRACT
Intramuscular lipoma, also referred to as an infiltrating lipoma, is a rare, benign uncapsulated tumor that originates between skeletal muscle bundles and infiltrates through the intramuscular septa. These lipomas are generally found on the upper or lower limbs, but rarely occur on the face. We report a case of intramuscular lipoma of the chin, which has not ever been reported in Korea. Histopathological findings showed mature adipocytes infiltrating muscle in a diffuse manner. The lesion was excised completely and has shown no evidence of recurrence.
