“…25,30,34 Differential diagnoses for SCL include lipoma with fibrosis, fibrolipoma, pleomorphic lipoma, atypical lipomatous tumor (ALT)/well-differentiated liposarcoma (WDLPS), and solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs). 23,30 Upon reviewing 43 cases of SCLs of the tongue, we found that almost all the patients (except for one case by Shrestha et al 29 ) were adults, with an age range of 7-86 years, with a mean age of 61 years and median age of 64.5 years. Our case was for a 33-year-old female, which is the third youngest case reported and well below the reported median age.…”

“…The preferred therapy is surgical excision, which includes convenient removal from surrounding tissues 5 . Lingual SCL has a benign clinical course with little chance of recurrence, although long‐term monitoring is required 29 . The significance of this paper is to report a case of SCL in the tongue, shed some light on previously reported literature that is relatively sparse and portray the clinicopathological aspects of this unusual kind of oral Lipoma.…”

Multiple fibrolipomas of the tongue are rare benign tumors with a prevalence of 0.2% among both adults and children. Moreover, this lesion affecting an infant has not been reported in the literature. This is the first reported case of multiple fibrolipomas of the tongue in an infant. This case report describes the genetic sequencing and treatment of a 1‐year‐old child suffering from multiple fibrolipomas. Irregular growths on the anterior and lateral border of the tongue were reported by the mother of the child at the time of birth. The patient was presented to the hospital at the age of 1, and surgical excision of the lesions was performed under general anesthesia. The surgery was uneventful. Genetic sequencing was performed via whole exome sequencing, and two variants of the C2CD3 gene have been identified that may be associated with this condition, although causation has not yet been confirmed. Although this is a rare entity of the oral cavity, there are various differential diagnoses. Therefore, maxillofacial surgeons should perform histological diagnosis to confirm the findings. This is the first study in literature to understand the genetic sequencing of multiple fibrolipomas in an infant. Hence, the finding of this report can be utilized in further studies registering such cases.
