Abstract

Lipoma is a benign tumor composed of mature adipocytes and the most common soft tissue mesenchymal neoplasm but relatively rare in the oral cavity. Lipoma of the tongue is uncommon and especially multiple lipomas are quite rare and only several cases of those were reported. We describe an unusual case of multiple lipomas of the tongue.

지방종은 성숙한 지방세포로 이루어진 흔한 연조직 양성 종양이다. 그러나, 구강에서는 드물게 발생하며, 일반적으로 단독으로 발생하기 때문에 구강내에서 다발성으로 발생한 지방종을 경험하기는 매우 어렵다. 이에 저자는 아주 드물게 발생하는 혀의 다발성 지방종을 경험하여서 이를 보고하며 구강 지방종에 대해 고찰하고자 한다.
