A rare case of multiple infiltrating lipomas in the tongue of a 54-year-old man is reported. There have been only five previously reported cases of infiltrating lipoma of the tongue. They were all solitary in nature. The present lesion is the first case reported in the English literature of multiple infiltrating lipoma of the tongue. Because of its infiltrating nature, this tumour may be mistaken for a liposarcoma. Achievement of adequate surgical margins is essential, as the recurrence rate may be as high as 62.5 per cent without complete excision.
报告了一例54岁男性舌部多发浸润性脂肪瘤的罕见病例。此前仅有5例舌部浸润性脂肪瘤的报道。这些病例均为单发。本病例是英文文献中首例舌部多发浸润性脂肪瘤的报道。由于其浸润性，这种肿瘤可能被误诊为脂肪肉瘤。获得足够的手术切缘至关重要，因为如果不完全切除，复发率可能高达62.5%。
