The lipoma is a relatively rare tumor of this month. It has been reported in various sites, including the buccal mucosa, mucobuccal fold, tongue, and gingiva. We recently experienced a case of lipoma arising from the tongue, clinical presentation and histologic observation described in this paper.
A 62-year-old man was admitted Oct. 26, 1983 with tongue progressive swelling. The tumor was removed under local aneshesia. Histologic observation revealed mature fat cells belowfibrous connective tissue.
