Submucosal oral squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue

Nodular migratory tongue lesions: Atypical geographic tongue or a new entity?

“…Incisional biopsies were performed, extending deeply to the submucosal and muscular layers. The clinical history and previous MRI excluded submucosal neoplastic lesions and infectious diseases (D’Amore et al, 2020; Lombardi et al, 2021). Histopathological analysis revealed the presence of psoriasiform hyperplasia with spongiosis of the epithelium and exocytosis of neutrophils with the formation of small intraepithelial aggregates.…”

“…Incisional biopsies were performed, extending deeply to the submucosal and muscular layers. The clinical history and previous MRI excluded submucosal neoplastic lesions and infectious diseases (D'Amore et al, 2020;Lombardi et al, 2021). Etiology of geographic tongue is still unknown, but a family history of this condition is frequently reported by the patient.…”

“…Incisional biopsies were performed extending deeply to the submucosal and muscular layers. The clinical history and previous MRI allowed to exclude submucosal neoplastic lesions and infectious diseases [7,8].…”

Macroglossia associated with multiple nodular lesions of the tongue

“…The right diagnosis is B. Amyloidosis of the tongue. Differential diagnosis may include benign or malignant submucosal lesion, actinomycosis of the tongue, amyloidosis of the tongue (D’Amore et al, 2020; Lombardi et al, 2021).

Republication de : Tongue deviation and dysarthria in painless patient

“…Hypoglossal nerve palsy may be related to various pathological processes. Differential diagnosis should include: submucosal tongue malignancies, primary skull base neoplasms (e.g., paragangliomas), bony skull base metastases, traumatic skull base fractures and internal carotid artery dissection 4,5 . The main symptoms associated to hypoglossal nerve palsy include dysarthria, altered swallowing and impaired tongue movement 3 .…”
