Lipomas are benign soft tissue neoplasm which rarely occur in the oral cavity.

They are slow growing and usually asymptomatic in nature. When it grows to a large size, it can hinder the physiological processes that are associated with the area. This case report describes the diagnostic features of tongue lipoma with a brief review of literature.
