Lipomatosis of the tongue is rarely observed. An 85-year-old man with chronic alcoholism presented several symmetrical lipomas of the tongue with no other clinical manifestations. There was no capsule at the histology examination. The multiple and symmetrical nature of the lesion without a capsule led to the diagnosis of benign symmetrical lipomatosis of the tongue, the fourth case reported in the literature.
