1/42. Coexisting congenital sublingual dermoid and bronchogenic cyst.A congenital dermoid together with a bronchogenic cyst at the base of the tongue is extremely rare. We describe a 5-year-old boy who presented with an enlarged anterior segment of mandible, slight swelling of the left submandibular region, and a large swelling of the floor of the mouth that was displacing the tongue posteriorly. Both cysts were successfully excised and the boy made an uncomplicated recovery. Occlusion and mastication returned to normal and his speech improved remarkably.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = congenita (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/42. Evaluation and management of benign, non-congenital tongue masses in children.Lingual tumors are rare, primarily benign, lesions in the pediatric population. Congenital lesions, such as hemangiomas, lymphatic malformations, dermoids, hamartomas and thyroglossal ducts cysts, are seen more commonly. Primary, non-congenital lingual neoplasms are less common in children. We present three patients with benign lingual neoplasms. Evaluation, management, pathology and follow-up are discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = congenita (Clic here for more details about this article) |

4/42. Oral carcinoma in a young man: a case of dyskeratosis congenita.We report a 28-year-old male with a voluminous growth of the tongue, present for 6 months. The histological examination revealed a squamous cell carcinoma. The patient was also affected by oral leukoplakia, nail dystrophy, reticulated poikiloderma of the neck and hyperkeratosis of palms and soles. On the basis of clinical features and histological findings, as well as findings from the family, the diagnosis of dyskeratosis congenita (DKC) was made.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 105.91883210354keywords = dyskeratosis congenita, dyskeratosis, congenita (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/42. tongue lesions in the pediatric population.OBJECTIVE: To describe the spectrum of pediatric tongue lesions treated surgically at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center from January 1990 to December 1999. Study design and setting: Retrospective case-series at the pediatric hospital of a tertiary care, academic medical center. RESULTS: Seventeen patients were identified. Their ages ranged from 1 to 132 months (median, 7 months). Eight lesions were located anteriorly: mucous cyst (1), polyp (1), chronic inflammatory mass (1), hamartoma (1), squamous papilloma (2), cavernous hemangioma (1), and vascular malformation (1). Four lesions were located posteriorly: teratoma (1), glial choristoma (1), osseous choristoma (1), and benign epithelial cyst (1). Finally, there were 5 diffuse lesions including macroglossia (4) and massively infiltrating congenital lymphatic malformation (1). Symptoms included respiratory distress (3) and dysarthria (3); all other children were asymptomatic. CONCLUSIONS: This series revealed an interesting spectrum of rare solid tumors; compared with other large series, fewer lymphatic and vascular malformations were seen. Presenting symptoms, differential diagnosis, and surgical approach were differentiated according to lesion location.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = congenita (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/42. Congenital cystadenoma of the tongue in a neonate case report with review of literature.We present a congenital cystadenoma of the tongue in a neonate, which presented at birth. Cystadenomas are uncommon tumors that form from salivary gland duct tissue and are more commonly seen in adults. This is the youngest case to be reported in the English literature. A review of literature with differential diagnosis and management is presented.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = congenita (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/42. Multiple congenital epulis of the alveolar ridge and tongue.Congenital granular cell tumor, also known as congenital epulis, is a very rare lesion seen in newborns. The typical presentation is a solitary nodule occurring on the gingiva of the anterior alveolar ridge of either jaw. Multiple-site involvement is seen very seldom but has been noted on the same or different alveolar ridges. However, tongue involvement is exceptional, and there have been only three cases reported involving both the alveolus and the tongue. A female newborn with multiple congenital epulis on the mandibular alveolar ridge and tongue is presented, and her preferred treatment and histopathological diagnosis are discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.2keywords = congenita (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/42. White sponge nevus of the tongue.To my knowledge, this is the fifth case of white sponge nevus of the tongue to be reported. This lesion is probably much more common than has been reported in the past. The disorder is benign and almost always asymptomatic. The recognition of this disorder is important in that it must be differentiated from other congenital or familial disorders of more widespread clinical significance. It is important for any physician, and especially for dermatologists, to do a thorough examination of the oral mucous membranes as a part of any physical examination.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = congenita (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/42. Oral-facial-digital syndrome type II variant associated with congenital tongue lipoma.We report a case with several congenital anomalies, including polysyndactyly, hypertelorism, partial median cleft of the upper lip, and 2 solitary tongue masses. These features are consistent with oral-facial-digital (OFD) type II syndrome. This case, however, had tongue lipomas with pathosis instead of the usually described tongue hamartomas. In addition, our patient had a sacral dermal pit, which is not a known characteristic of patients with OFD type II. The patient had a younger sister with the same anomalies who died at the age of 10 days and thus was unavailable for examination. We propose to distinguish patients with tongue lipomas and features of OFD type II as a variant of that syndrome.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = congenita (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/42. Heterotopic gastric mucosa of the tongue and the oesophagus.A case of gastric heterotopia of the tongue and one of heterotopic gastric mucosa of the oesophagus are described. From a comprehensive review of the world literature it appears that the present case of lingual gastric heterotopia is only the eighth so far reported and the first occurring in a woman. The site of the polypoid formation medially in the body of the tongue and its presence since birth indicate a congenital malformation. As to the observation of heterotopic gastric mucosa in the oesophagus, it is worth noting that the aberrant tissue was located in a wide area between two sites of squamous carcinoma of the oesophagus. Primary adenocarcinoma of the upper third of the oesophagus is extremely rare and its histogenesis becomes even more controversial when consideration is given to some of the features of the case presented. In particular, the hypothesis that adenocarcinoma may arise from heterotopic gastric epithelium is doubtful and does not explain the origin of all adenocarcinomas in the upper third of the oesophagus. The assumption that it may arise from oesophageal glands and/or from tracheobranchial rests remains well-founded.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = congenita (Clic here for more details about this article) |
