Case report of transoral excision of a right buccal/jugal lipoma.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Lipomas are benign mesenchymal tumors that rarely occur in the oral cavity. Lesions arising in the jugal region may pose diagnostic and surgical challenges due to their anatomical location. We report a case of a jugal lipoma successfully managed through a transoral approach, highlighting the clinical and esthetic advantages of this approach. Case presentation: A 74-year-old man was referred to our service for evaluation of a soft submucosal mass in the right jugal area, with no related symptoms but that had steadily enlarged during the previous year. The differential diagnosis of a soft submucosal mass in this region is broad, encompassing lipomatous lesions, salivary gland tumors, vascular malformations, and cystic lesions, among others, making accurate preoperative assessment essential. Facial soft-tissue ultrasonography revealed a well-demarcated, homogeneous, hypoechoic lesion consistent with a lipoma. We report a case of a jugal lipoma successfully managed through a transoral approach, highlighting the diagnostic workup, surgical technique, and esthetic advantages of this minimally invasive strategy. Clinical discussion: The right jugal lipoma was successfully excised via a transoral approach under general anesthesia, with complete removal achieved through blunt dissection, resulting in excellent cosmetic and functional outcomes and minimal morbidity. Further histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of conventional lipoma. Conclusion: Transoral excision of jugal lipomas provides excellent esthetic outcomes, with no visible scarring and a low recurrence rate following complete excision. The intraoral approach is a safe and effective option for appropriately selected cases.
