Resumo Inglês:

Lipoma of the tongue is an uncommon benign tumor, being even more
rare when there are multiple lesions. Lipoma accounts for 1-5% of all oral
neoplasms. Lipoma occurs predominantly in males over the age of forty,
although, in rare cases, children can be affected. Here, we report an unusual
case of a female patient with bilateral lingual lipomas that were treated through
surgical excision.
