Chondrolipomas are benign mesenchymal tumors characterized by the proliferation of mature adipocytes associated with variable amounts of mature cartilaginous tissue. Herein, we describe a case of chondrolipoma of the tongue in a 35-year-old Indian male. The lesion presented as a nodular, sessile, pink mass on posterio-dorsal surface of left side of the tongue since approximately 20 years. Histopathologically, the mass revealed a well circumscribed, encapsulated proliferation of mature adipocytes with islands of well formed mature cartilaginous tissue. Chondrolipomas are uncommon in the oral cavity, with only 14 cases being reported in the English literature.
软骨脂肪瘤是一种良性间叶组织肿瘤，其特征是成熟脂肪细胞增生，并伴有数量不等的成熟软骨组织。在此，我们报告一例35岁印度男性舌部软骨脂肪瘤病例。该病变表现为位于舌左侧后背面的一个结节状、无蒂粉红色肿物，病程约20年。组织病理学检查显示，肿物边界清晰，有包膜，成熟脂肪细胞呈增生性改变，并伴有成熟软骨组织岛。软骨脂肪瘤在口腔中较为罕见，英文文献中仅报道过14例。
