title: Atypical intramuscular lipoma of the tongue.
abstract: Lipomatous tumours of the tongue are rare and most of them are benign ordinary lipomas. In this report, we describe the first case of atypical lipoma of the tongue in a 78-year-old male, and review the current literature and controversies surrounding the nomenclature and biology of this unusual lesion.
