Abstract
We report a case of spindle cell lipoma （SCL） of the tongue. A 65-year-old man was referred to our department because of a mass arising in the right margin of the tongue. Physical examination revealed 3 elastic soft masses of the right tongue margin, measuring 6mm, 8mm, and 12mm in diameter. Excisional biopsy of the largest mass was performed. The mass was histopathologically diagnosed as SCL, because it consisted of mature adipocytes and CD34 positive-spindle cells. There have been no signs of recurrence or an increase in size of the other 2 masses for 1 year 10 months.
