“…This type of cyst may be diagnosed considering the morphology solely, following recommendations previously reported. 3 It is essential to highlight that the epithelium would be diffusely positive for CK7 if the immunohistochemical analysis is performed 14 ; for this reason, immunohistochemical analysis is not usual. 3 Considering the histologic presentation, the differential diagnosis of the lingual cysts must embrace epidermoid, dermoid, teratoid, and thyroglossal duct cysts, lingual thyroid, hemangioma/lymphangioma, mucocele or ranula, and lymphoepithelial cysts.…”

The lingual cyst lined by respiratory epithelium is a rare pathology. It probably appears from the default of undifferentiated cells of the foregut during embryonic growth. This pathology is seen more often in males and children; however, only 5 patients younger than 4 years old have been reported. The pathophysiology and the management of this cyst were described in a 4-year-old girl. She presented with a soft mass on the dorsum of the tongue covered by normal mucosa, which existed since her birth, causing difficulty in eating, breathing, and talking. The magnetic resonance described a hyperintense image with an anteroposterior diameter of 27 mm, craniocaudal of 19 mm, and transversal of 26 mm in the midline groove of the tongue; the scintigraphy showed normality. The enucleation of the lesion was performed, eradicating the capsule of the cyst and obtaining a complete cleavage. The histopathologic examination defined a cyst lined predominantly by respiratory epithelium. Unlike in other cases, in this case their cystic lining and capsular constituents were contemplated considering the current histological recommendations. It is relevant to differentiate this pathology from other cysts with similar histological findings.

Most congenital masses of the mouth floor are cystic, irrespective of their origin. They may obstruct airway or digestive tract or may present other complications. Recognizing and treating these masses expeditiously is imperative. Choristoma is a mass of normal tissue in an abnormal location; they are classified according to the predominant epithelial lining. Few cases have been reported lined with gastric and respiratory epithelia within the same cyst. This case report presents a 5-month-old boy with an infected choristoma involving the floor of the mouth and its successful management.

“…These cysts, also called choristomas, contain heterotopic islands of gastrointestinal mucosa that is usually gastric but occasionally intestinal, colonic or pancreatic. The duplication of this mucosa is based on a triad of (1) a cyst covered by a smooth muscle coat, (2) the presence of epithelium derived from the foregut, and (3) attachment to a portion of the foregut, which gives this entity its name [4], [5], [6], [7], [8].…”

Heterotopic gastrointestinal cysts of the oral cavity are benign lesions usually discovered during infancy. Their pathogenesis is not very clear. They are rare congenital anomalies that result from remnants of foregut-derived epithelium in the head, neck, thorax or abdomen during embryonic development. The majority of these lesions occur in the anterior ventral surface of the tongue and extend to the floor of the mouth. They are confused clinically by surgeons in cases of head and neck masses in children as ranulas, dermoid and thyroglossal cysts, and lymphangioma. We report the case of a 28-day newborn with a 3.6 cm oval mass on the floor of the mouth causing difficulty eating and cyanosis during crying. Complete surgical excision was performed by an oral approach under general anesthesia. Microscopic examination revealed gastric epithelium with tall columnar mucous cells on the surface and numerous short closed crypts, resembling fundal glands and mature gastric epithelium.
