Lipomas are among the most common tumors of the human body. However, they are uncommon in the oral cavity and are observed as slow growing, painless, and asymptomatic yellowish submucosal masses. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice and recurrence is not expected.
The case of a 30-year-old woman with a huge lipoma on the tip of her tongue since 3 years, is presented. She had difficulty with speech and mastication because the tongue tumor was filling the oral cavity. Clinical examination revealed a yellowish lesion, measuring 8 cm in maximum diameter, protruding from the lingual surface. The tumor was surgically excised with restoration of normal tongue function and histopathological examination of the tumor confirmed that it was a lipoma.
Tongue lipoma is rarely seen and can be a cause of macroglossia. Surgical excision for lipoma is indicated for symptomatic relief and exclusion of associated malignancy.
脂肪瘤是人体最常见的肿瘤之一。然而，它们在口腔中并不常见，表现为生长缓慢、无痛且无症状的黄色黏膜下肿块。手术切除是首选治疗方法，一般不会复发。
本文介绍了一名30岁女性的病例，她的舌尖部有一个巨大脂肪瘤，已存在3年。由于舌部肿瘤占据口腔，她出现了言语和咀嚼困难。临床检查发现一个最大直径为8厘米的黄色病变，从舌面突出。肿瘤通过手术切除，舌功能恢复正常，肿瘤的组织病理学检查证实为脂肪瘤。
舌脂肪瘤很少见，可导致巨舌症。对于脂肪瘤，手术切除旨在缓解症状并排除相关恶性肿瘤。
