Abstract

Benign symmetric lipomatosis(BSL) is a lesion characterized by symmetrical and diffuse growth of adipose tissue. It is commonly found in the posterior neck or upper trunk, manifesting itself as an entity known as Madelung disease or Lanoid-Bensaude syndrome. Lipomatosis affecting the tongue is very unusual. The etiology of BSL is unknown, but It can be associated with alcoholism, liver dysfunction, hypothyroidism. Because of its diffuse histologic feature, complete resection of the lesion is often difficult.
Seventy one years old male patient, whose chief complaint was multiple nodules of tongue was referred to our department. The lesion was diagnosed histopathologically as BSL and subsequently removed surgically. So we report this rare case of BSL with literature review.
