Popis:	We reported a rare case of spindle cell lipoma of the tongue. A 56-year-old man was referred to our department because of a painless swelling on the right tip of the tongue. A clinical examination revealed a mobile, well-demarcated, mass of the tongue that measured 35mm in diameter. A histopathological diagnosis of a solitary fibrous tumor was made on examination of a biopsy specimen. The tumor was removed surgically with the patient under general anesthesia. Histopathological examination of the surgical specimen showed a spindle cell lipoma. There have been no signs of recurrence in the approximately 11 months since the operation.
