Lipomas are benign soft tissue neoplasm which rarely occur in the oral cavity. Of the total reported cases of lipoma, only about 15% to 20% of cases have occurred in the head and neck region and the tongue is an even rarer site with only about 4% of the reported cases occurring in that region. They are slow growing and usually asymptomatic in nature. When it grows to a large size, it can hinder the physiological processes that are associated with the area. This case report describes the diagnostic features of tongue lipoma with a brief review of literature.
脂肪瘤是一种良性软组织肿瘤，很少发生在口腔内。在报告的脂肪瘤总病例中，仅有约 15%至 20%的病例发生在头颈部，而舌部则更为罕见，仅有约 4%的报告病例发生在该部位。它们生长缓慢，通常无症状。当它们生长到较大的尺寸时，可能会妨碍与该区域相关的生理过程。本病例报告描述了舌部脂肪瘤的诊断特征，并简要回顾了文献。
