A Rare Lipoma of Tongue in a 4-Year-Old Child : A Case Report With Literature Review

Lipoma of the tongue is a rare benign tumor that accounts for approximately 1% to 5% of all oral cavity tumors while 0.3% of tumors are of the tongue. Notably, it is rarer in children. In this article, we report the case of a 4-year-old girl with lipomas of the tongue. The lipomas were found at age 1 year by her parents, located on the tip, ventro, and dorsum of the tongue, and presenting with a trend to increase gradually. At the time of presentation to the hospital at age 4 years, the articulatory function of the patient was partially affected, and surgical excision was performed. The surgery was uneventful, and no evidence of recurrence was noted at 3 month follow-up.
