Abstract

Lipomas are benign connective tissue tumors. They are common lesions in the human body, but they rarely appear in the oral cavity. We present a case of a 31-year-old female with a 2 months history of painful swelling of the under-tongue region, without dysphagia and dyspnea. The neoformation was surgically removed with a trans-oral approach. The pathological diagnosis was lipoma with focal cartilage metaplasia. Good healing of surgical site was observed, without complications and persistence of the lesion.
