“…[ 15 19 ] While these lesions are usually diagnosed in older adults, they may originate at a younger age as some of these tumors including the present case have shown long duration of presentation. [ 14 15 17 ] There may be an actual bimodal age predilection as substantial number of cases (almost one-third including the present case) seem to originate in the first two decades of life[ 13 14 15 19 ] but a larger number of cases will be required to accept or refute this observation. This feature of chondrolipoma slightly differs from a conventional lipoma, which are rarely seen in the first two decades of life and are thought to make their appearance at the age when fat starts accumulating in inactive individuals.…”

Chondrolipomas are benign mesenchymal tumors characterized by the proliferation of mature adipocytes associated with variable amounts of mature cartilaginous tissue. Herein, we describe a case of chondrolipoma of the tongue in a 35-year-old Indian male. The lesion presented as a nodular, sessile, pink mass on posterio-dorsal surface of left side of the tongue since approximately 20 years. Histopathologically, the mass revealed a well circumscribed, encapsulated proliferation of mature adipocytes with islands of well formed mature cartilaginous tissue. Chondrolipomas are uncommon in the oral cavity, with only 14 cases being reported in the English literature.

Chondrolipoma of the Tongue in a Child: A Case Report

et al. 2015

Chondrolipomas are seen very rare in the oral cavity. They are benign mesenchymal tumors which are characterized by the proliferation of mature adipocytes associated with the deposition of mature cartilaginous tissue. English literatures show that these lesions are usually small (0.5 -2.5 cm), duration of disease before diagnosis ranges from 2 months to 2 years and the peak incidence of lipomas is during the fifth and sixth decade of life. A 16-year-old boy presented with a painless mass on the right lateral border of the tongue since birth in this case report. Intraoral clinical examination revealed a medium hard, multilobuler, irregular mass, consistency measuring approximately 6 × 4 cm in its major diamater. Therefore, the present case is peculiar due to its long duration (approximately 16 years) and its size.

“…Chondrolipomas are most frequently seen in the breast and rarely in the head and neck region and are most commonly found in adults in the fifth and sixth decade (2,3). Chondrolipoma has previously been identified in head and neck area in the childhood in two cases in the literature (4,5). It is most commonly in the oral cavity and nasopharynx in the head and neck region and this is the first case in the literature it has involved the neck region soft tissue in a child.…”

Chondrolipomas are mesenchymal tumors that found as mature cartilage tissue in a fat tissue. A 2-year-old boy was seen with a complaint of a mass of the neck. On physical examination of the child, there was a one-centimeter mass above the sternocleidomastoid muscle on the lateral neck. Pathological examination of this mass after excision was reported as chondrolipoma. Chondrolipomas are seen mostly in the breast and in the adult. They are rare tumors of the head and neck area and seen mostly the in oral cavity here. This is the first case of chondrolipoma with this age and localization combination in the literature. Chondrolipoma should therefore also be considered in the differential diagnosis of congenital masses located at lateral cervical area.
