Spindle cell lipoma (SCL) is a benign lipomatous tumor predominantly occurring at the posterior neck and shoulder area. Face, forehead, scalp, cheek, perioral area, and upper arm are less common sites. In oral cavity, it is a relatively uncommon neoplasm, particularly in tongue, which is relatively devoid of fat cells. We present a case report of SCL located on the left lateral border of the tongue in a 64-year-old Caucasian female patient with diabetes mellitus type 2 and arterial hypertension.

“…[5] Most patients are around 40 years or older and it is extremely rare in children. [514] Moreover, lipomas elsewhere in the body are reported to be twice as common in females than in males, but oral lipomas are characterized by a more balanced sex distribution.

| A lipoma is a slow-growth benign tumor of the adipocytes. In the oral cavity, it is more commonly observed in the buccal mucosa; other sites less affected are the tongue, floor of the mouth, and lips. The objective of this report is to describe an extensive tumor affecting the dorsum of the tongue and the therapeutic maneuver performed. A 63-yearold man was referred to our clinic for evaluation of a tumor in the dorsum of the tongue with 6 months of duration. The physical examination revealed an extensive nodule, asymptomatic, submucosal, in the dorsum of the tongue at the left that measured approximately 4 cm. On palpation, the lesion was mobile and had rubbery consistency. According to these findings, the diagnostic hypotheses were lipoma and neurofibroma. Hence, surgical excision was performed and during the procedure a yellowish and well-delimited lesion was observed. The surgical specimen floated in 10% formalin. The histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of lipoma. The patient is asymptomatic after 40 months of follow-up. This report describes an unusual presentation of lipoma on the dorsum of the tongue and demonstrates that this lesion can reach large proportions.DESCRIPTORS | Lipoma; Tongue Diseases; Mouth Neoplasms; Tongue Neoplasms. RESUMO | Resumo Lipoma oral de tamanho e localização incomuns: relato de caso • Lipoma é um tumor benigno de crescimento lento dos adipócitos. Na cavidade oral, é mais comumente observado na mucosa jugal; outros sítios menos afetados são a língua, soalho oral e lábios. O objetivo deste relato é descrever um extenso tumor afetando o dorso da língua e a manobra terapêutica realizada. Um homem de 63 anos de idade foi encaminhado à nossa clínica para avaliação de um tumor no dorso da língua com 6 meses de duração. O exame físico revelou um nódulo extenso, assintomático, submucoso, no dorso da língua à esquerda, medindo aproximadamente 4 cm. À palpação, a lesão era móvel e tinha consistência borrachoide. De acordo com esses achados, as hipóteses diagnósticas foram lipoma e neurofibroma. Portanto, foi realizada excisão cirúrgica e, durante o procedimento, foi observada uma lesão amarelada e bem delimitada. O espécime cirúrgico flutuou em formalina a 10%. O exame histopatológico confirmou o diagnóstico de lipoma. O paciente encontra-se assintomático após 40 meses de acompanhamento. Este relato descreve uma apresentação incomum de lipoma no dorso da língua e demonstra que essa lesão pode atingir grandes proporções.

The lipoma presents as one of the common mesenchymal neoplasms however, in the oral and maxillofacial region its occurrence is less frequent, representing about 0.5% to 5% of all benign oral tumours. Most patients with lipomas are above 40 years of age or older, lipomas are uncommon in children and with gender distribution appearing to be approximately equal. Lipomas are usually asymptomatic until they grow to large size and may interfere with speech and mastication. Other benign connective tissue lesions such as granular cell tumor, neurofibroma, traumatic fibroma and salivary gland lesions (mucocele and mixed tumor) might be included in differential diagnosis. The purpose of this report is to present a rare case of a 2 year & 9 months-old female patient with a histopathologically confirmed diagnosis of lipoma.
