Lipoma of the Tongue – A Rare Site for a Common Tumour

S. Manikandan, Mohammad Nazish Alam

Open full text 1 citations

Abstract

Although lipomas are among the most common mesenchymal neoplasms, only 1 to 4% affect the oral cavity. Lipoma of the tongue represents about 0.3% of all the benign lesions of the oral cavity. These soft tissue tumours of adipose tissue origin are not interesting as such, but the sites of their presence may attract our attention. Lipoma of the tongue is a rare site for a common tumour. Herein, we present a rare case and the management of the site.
