Abstract

Lipomas are comparatively uncommon mesenchymaltumours which are benign and originates from adipose cells. Oral lipoma can occur anywhere in the body but commonly develop intraorally in lip, tongue, palate, buccal mucosa, vestibule, and below the tongue and salivary glands. Their progressive growth cause hindrance with speech and mastication due to the tumour's dimension. Here in thispublication we discuss a case of lipoma in a 28-year-old female patient underneath the anterior one-third of tongue with no pain but interfering with speech and phonation for 2 years. The patient was completely asymptomatic with a large swelling in floor of the mouth and complained of difficulty in speech and eating.
