Abstract
This report discusses a rare case of a 75-year-old male presenting with a large lipoma of the tongue. It examines the investigations carried out to aid in diagnosing the lesion and the management options. Since oral lipomas rarely cause symptoms, there tends to be a general delay in seeking treatment. This case report aims to help dental practitioners diagnose intra-oral soft tissue lesions and provide appropriate management for their patients.
