Lipoma is the commonest benign tumor occurring at any anatomical site, where fat is present. In oral cavity and oropharynx, it is a relatively uncommon neoplasm. Tongue, which is totally devoid of fat cell is also a site for lipoma but very rarely. We report one such rare case of the universal tumor, of 20 years of duration and 9 cm in size, presenting at the lateral margin, dorsal and ventral surface of the tongue, for which complete tumor excision was done.
脂肪瘤是发生于任何有脂肪存在的解剖部位的最常见良性肿瘤。在口腔和口咽，它是一种相对少见的肿瘤。完全没有脂肪细胞的舌部也是脂肪瘤的发病部位，但极为罕见。我们报告一例如此罕见的脂肪瘤病例，病程20年，大小为9厘米，位于舌的外侧缘、背侧和腹侧表面，已行肿瘤完整切除。
