Chondrolipoma Arising in the Floor of the Mouth and Review of the Literature: A Case Report

Abstract

Only 14 cases of chondrolipoma, a benign mesenchymal tumor containing mature cartilage and adipose tissue, have been reported from the oral cavity with tongue as the most common location. This case report describes a 56-year-old male with an asymptomatic mass in the floor of the mouth, which had doubled in size during the previous 6 months. This report is the first reported case of chondrolipoma arising in the floor of the mouth.
