Introduction: Fibrolipoma is a less frequent variant of lipoma, it is rarely reported in the oral cavity, especially in the tongue. This study aims to report a very rare case of tongue fibrolipoma.
Case Report: A 53-year-old female presented with a painless mass at the anterior part of the tongue. It was soft with a smooth regular border. The patient underwent wide local excision to remove the lesion, and the sample was sent for histopathological examination which confirmed the diagnosis of a single fibrolipoma.
Discussion: Fibrolipoma is rare in the oral cavity, however, they have been seen in the buccal mucosa, lips, buccal vestibule, floor of the mouth, and retromolar area. It has been proposed that disturbance in glucose and lipid metabolism, hormone therapy, and trauma can lead to the formation and proliferation of the tumor.
Conclusion: Fibrolipoma of the tongue is a rare occurrence. Surgical excision is the ideal management strategy. Histopathological examination is the gold standard for definitive diagnosis.

Article Synopsis
- Fibrolipomas are benign tumors composed of fat and fibrous tissue that are commonly found in the mouth of dogs, with a particular prevalence in males and dogs around 10 years old.
- In a study examining 112 cases, the tongue was identified as the most common location for these tumors, followed by the buccal mucosa and sublingual area.
- The anatomical distribution of oral fibrolipomas varied by dog breed, but other factors like sex and age showed no significant differences, highlighting the need to consider fibrolipomas when diagnosing oral masses in dogs.

Lipomas occurring in the hard palate are extremely rare, and treating lipomas in this area presents challenges due to the thinness of soft tissue and the risk of postoperative bony surface exposure. We present a case of hard palate lipoma that was successfully removed using the partial thickness flap dissection technique. In addition, we reviewed the clinicopathological features of 20 reported cases of hard palate lipomas worldwide and retrospectively analyzed the clinical characteristics and pathological types of 68 oral lipomas in China.
