Chondrolipomas are rare benign mesenchymal tumors characterized by the proliferation of mature adipocytes associated with variable amounts of mature cartilaginous tissue. To our knowledge, only 11 cases of chondrolipoma affecting the oral cavity have been published in the English-language literature (PubMed database), and no cases of this condition up to 20 years of complaint duration have been reported. Thus, this article describes an interesting and atypical case of a 68-year-old woman who presented an asymptomatic slow-growing swelling on the posterior dorsal surface of the tongue. In addition, we reviewed the international literature from 1976 to 2009.
软骨脂肪瘤是一种罕见的良性间叶组织肿瘤，其特征为成熟脂肪细胞增生，并伴有数量不等的成熟软骨组织。据我们所知，英文文献（PubMed数据库）中仅发表了11例累及口腔的软骨脂肪瘤病例，尚无关于病程长达20年的此类病例报道。因此，本文描述了一例有趣的非典型病例，患者为一名68岁女性，其舌背后部出现一个无症状的缓慢生长肿物。此外，我们还回顾了1976年至2009年的国际文献。
