| description | Lipomas are among the most common mesenchymal neoplasms, however, only 15%-20% involve the head and neck
and 1%-4% affect the oral cavity. Lipoma of the tongue
represents about 0.3% of all benign lesions of the oral cavity. A 12-year-old boy presented with a globular swelling
over the middle of dorsum of tongue since last 4 months
duration. The swelling was apparently non-progressive. It
was excised under local anaesthesia and histopathologically diagnosed as lipoma tongue. The case is being presented due to its rarity. |
