Abstract
Introduction:
Lipomatosis of the tongue is rarely observed.
Case Report:
An 85-year-old man with chronic alcoholism presented several symmetrical lipomas of the tongue with no other clinical manifestations. There was no capsule at the histology examination.
Discussion:
The multiple and symmetrical nature of the lesion without a capsule led to the diagnosis of benign symmetrical lipomatosis of the tongue, the fourth case reported in the literature.
