Abstract
Atypical lipomatous tumor/Well differentiated liposarcoma (ALT/WDLS) is a rare tumor in the tongue. We report a very rare case of bilateral involvement of ALT of the tongue. A 79-year-old Asian male presented at our department with slowly growing symmetric masses of the tongue. A Computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrated large inhomogenous low fatty density mass along the margin of the tongue. In histological examination, the tumor had proliferation of mature adipocytes, fibrous septa, entrappted striated muscle fibers in a cross section and admixture of lipoblasts and mature adipocytes. The histopatologic diagnosis was ALT/WDLS. Although recurrence of ALT/WDLS is thought to be unlikely after complete excision, close long-term follow-up is necessary due to its malignant potential when dedifferentiating.
