“…The differential diagnosis of oral teratoma should include lymphatic malformations, cystic hygroma, hemangiomas, granulosa cell tumors, lingual thyroids, and thyroglossal dust cysts, and the final diagnosis must rely on pathologic histologic classification. 8 The location and size of the tumor are the main factors affecting the prognosis. The poor prognosis of oral teratoma is mainly secondary to the effect of the mass on its surrounding structures, the fetal airway, and swallowing.…”

Teratoma of the Tongue in a Fetus: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Teratomas are tumors composed of multiple embryonic germ layers of tissue, and those occurring in the tongue of the fetus are extremely rare. This paper reports the case of a 20-week-old fetus diagnosed with oral masses combined with a cleft lip and palate using prenatal ultrasonography. The patient decided to terminate the pregnancy due to economic factors after prenatal genetic consultation. The mother underwent induction termination and delivered a stillborn male fetus. The mass originated from the tongue and was pathologically confirmed as a mature teratoma by histology. Teratoma of the tongue is a rare congenital tumor that is usually benign. Its etiology is multifactorial, and prenatal karyotyping is necessary. Ultrasound is the main method of prenatal diagnosis, and magnetic resonance imaging is an effective complement to ultrasonography. Tumors can cause other malformations and abnormalities, and their location and size have an essential impact on prognosis. The imaging approach should focus on the associated abnormalities in order to assess the impact of the mass on the fetal airway and swallowing. Appropriate follow-up imaging can be helpful in the dynamic assessment of management.

“…US provides information on pattern, location, size, margin, density, color Doppler, and associated complications. Chapman et al 13 reported that a mass arising from the midline palate raises suspicion for epignathus, and lesions that appear to span multiple neck spaces are consistent with vascular anomalies. The use of Doppler US imaging can narrow the differential diagnosis through the identification of the presence, quantity, and type of vascularization of the oral mass 14 .…”

Objectives-To analyze the imaging manifestations of common fetal oral masses by ultrasound combined with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to discuss their differential diagnoses.Methods-A retrospective study of 6 fetuses with oral masses was performed at a tertiary referral center. The imaging features of prenatal ultrasonography and MRI in the diagnosis of fetal oral masses were analyzed.Results-Histopathological examination and/or postpartum ultrasound revealed lymphangioma malformation in 2 fetuses, and mucosal retention cyst, mature teratoma, immature teratoma, and cranial meningocele in 1 fetus, respectively. The teratoma had a characteristic sonographic appearance. In our study, the 4 cases of cystic masses did not have an abnormal vessel architecture. Supplemental MRI revealed a mass effect at the level of the hypopharynx, and in 2 cases with polyhydramnios, the mass obstructed the fetuses' upper airway. Thus, exutero intrapartum therapy surgery was performed to secure the newborn's airway.Conclusions-Oral fetal tumors represent rare congenital malformations. This study shows that a prenatal diagnosis of oral masses is feasible by ultrasound examination. MRI can further confirm the results of ultrasonography and clearly show the relationship between the mass and the hypopharynx. Ultrasonography combined with MRI could, to a large extent, facilitate early detection and appropriate treatment and improve outcome.

“…Основой диагностики вышеописанных состояний являются прижизненные визуализирующие методы исследования, поэтому новые данные о фетальной анатомии органов челюстно-лицевой области сохраняют актуальность [8,[10][11][12]. Развитие применения хирургических методов коррекции данных пороков также требует уточнения данных о структурах органов человека в пренатальном периоде развития, в частности в их взаимосвязи с гестационным возрастом, полом и иными индивидуальными особенностями организма [13][14][15][16][17].…”

The timely diagnosis and treatment of maxillofacial pathologies where the tongue plays an important role requires an accurate description of the organs structure and development. The paper presents a review of the current research data on the features of embryonic development, macro- and microanatomy, morphometry and ultrasound anatomy of the human tongue during the prenatal development. The selected papers, published in the Russian and English languages, cover the period of the last decade. We generalized the obtained data using the empirical and theoretical approaches. The macroscopic study of the external structure of the tongue was underrepresented in the current studies, usually performed in combination with morphometry. The studies of histotopograms in combination with histochemical methods were numerous, contributing to the more detailed classification of the tongue development stages. The selected papers focused on the period of human embryonic development and the correlating histological characteristics of the tongue. The morphometric characteristics and the blood supply of the tongue in the prenatal period require further research.
