title: Chondroid lipoma of the tongue: a report of two cases.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Chondroid lipoma affecting the oral cavity is rare and usually presents as a polyp of benign clinical appearance which is easily excised. However, the histopathological features of chondroid lipoma resemble liposarcoma due to the presence of lipoblasts and lack of mature cartilage.
  
  
  METHODS
  The clinicopathological features of two cases of chondroid lipoma of the dorsum of the tongue, one in a 66-year-old woman and the other in a 43-year-old man, are described.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Once the diagnosis had been established, no treatment other than surgical excision was necessary and in neither case has there been recurrence in two years of follow-up.
