[Congenital infiltrating lipomatosis of the face. Presentation of a new clinical case].
A new case of this rarely described pathology is reported. It concerns a benign infiltrating lipomatosis, strictly located to the face. However, dento-musculo-squelettal structures are constantly involved, usually located to a hemiface. A young female patient has been followed up from her birth. Surgical procedures are reported. Diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties of this rare clinicopathologic entity are discussed.
