Abstract

Lipomas are the most common soft tissue mesenchymal neoplasms and usually exhibit slow and asymptomatic growth. They are uncommon in the tongue. Surgical excision  is the main treatment method. The present study reports a 53-year-old man was referred to our department after noticing a tongue swelling. Examination and further radiographic and histological investigations revealed a large tongue lipoma which had been present for over three years. The tumor was completely excised, and subsequent to 3 years of follow‑up, there was no recurrence of the lesion. In this report, the authors present the clinical, histological features of lipoma of the tongue with review of the literature.
