Congenital Infiltrating Lingual Chondromyomyxoid Lipoma in a Young Child: Case Report and Literature Review

Abstract

Oral cavity lipoma is uncommon and the tongue is an unusual site in paediatric age. Most oral cavity lipomas arise from the buccal mucosal or floor of the mouth, whereas tongue involvement may be part of inherited disease syndromes such as neurofibromatosis, multiple familial lipomatosus, and Gardner syndrome or a sequela of trauma. We report case of congenital infiltrating tongue chondromyomyxoid lipoma in 21-month-old male child. This case illustrates a single lesion with multiple histological variants which may be misdiagnosed as a harmatomatous lesion
