Abstract

Lipomatous tumours of the tongue are rare and most of them are benign ordinary lipomas. In this report, we describe the first case of atypical lipoma of the tongue in a 78-year-old male, and review the current literature and controversies surrounding the nomenclature and biology of this unusual lesion.
