Area of Science:

  • Oral pathology
  • Diagnostic imaging

Background:

  • Unilateral abscesses of the anterior tongue are exceptionally rare clinical presentations.
  • Understanding the etiology of such conditions is crucial for effective management.

Observation:

  • A case of unilateral anterior tongue abscess is presented.
  • Ultrasonography was utilized as a key diagnostic tool for localization and characterization.

Findings:

  • The study highlights the successful application of ultrasonography in diagnosing a rare unilateral tongue abscess.
  • Blandin-Nühn glands are proposed as a potential etiologic factor in the development of these abscesses.

Implications:

  • This case expands the differential diagnosis for tongue lesions.
  • Ultrasonography should be considered in the diagnostic workup of suspected tongue abscesses.
  • Further research into the role of minor salivary glands in abscess formation is warranted.
