Lipoma is a benign neoplasm of fat tissue, mostly seen on the trunk and proximal portions of the extremities. It’s occurrence in the oral cavity is rare, particularly in the tongue. Fibrolipoma, an unusual histological variant account for about 25–40% of all tongue lipomas. On literature search, only 15 cases have been described in which histological diagnosis of fibrolipoma was specifically confirmed. This is a report of a rare case of fibrolipoma on the tongue, treated by means of surgical excision. Clinicians should be aware of these lesions in order to develop better clinical differential diagnosis.
