“…8). Classical lipoma is the most common Tongue lipoma may present as solitary or multiple lesions, such as hereditary multiple lipomatosis or Gardner's syndrome (22,26). In infants it appears that multiple lesions occur; Berger et al (27) reported 4 lipomas on the tongue of a 9-day-old infant affected with an orofacial-digital syndrome.…”

“…Therefore, the tumor may exist for long time prior to the patient becoming aware of it. The mean duration for tongue lipoma presence has been reported as 3.2 years, with a range between 15 days to 50 years (26,28). The true duration of oral lipoma may be much longer, with the exception of congenital multiple lesions cases, which are revealed when the infants are born.…”

Abstract. Lipoma is the most common benign tumor that occurs at any region where adipose tissue is present. However, as the tongue is devoid of adipocyte it is an extremely rare site for a lipoma to develop, particularly in China. The present study reports the presence of a tongue lipoma in a 78-year-old man that measured 2.2x2.0x1.5 cm and was located on the left ventral region of the tongue. The tumor was completely excised, and subsequent to 4 years of follow-up, there was no recurrence of the lesion. In addition, the present study reviewed the literature concerning tongue lipomas in China and analyzed 18 other cases of patients with tongue lipomas in the past

“…However, for infiltrative lipomas, the recommendation is the removal with healthy tissue margin to prevent recurrence. 1,12 The delay in the treatment of major tongue lipomas can lead to difficulty in speech, breathing, and swallowing, as well as atrophy of the lingual muscles and dental alterations. 15 The treatment in this case consisted of surgical excision and the patient is asymptomatic after 40 months.…”

| 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.
