ABSTRACT

Background: Lipoma is a benign soft tissue mesenchymal neoplasm that rarely occurs in the oral cavity. It appears as a slow-growing mass that progressively hampers the physiological processes of the area it occupies.
Clinical cases: This paper reports two cases assisted in different countries and worked together. The first case was a 64-year-old male patient who presented limitation of tongue mobility due to a tumor in the right anterior middle third of the tongue of one year of evolution. Once excised, the histopathological study reported proliferation of adipose cells without atypia compatible with lipoma. In the second case, a 68-yearold patient with a single yellow tumor on the right lateral border and ventral aspect of the tongue was evaluated by computed tomography. Surgical excision was performed with a presumptive diagnosis of lipoma, confirmed by histology as the proliferation of mature lobular adipocytes.
Conclusions: Tumors on the tongue that are well defined, not very symptomatic, and slow-growing, make necessary to think about the differential diagnosis of lipomas. Tongue location is rare, a few cases have been reported in the literature. The treatment of choice is surgical resection, and recurrence is uncommon.
