Congenital lingual cysts in newborns, unlike typical choristomas, were lined with squamous and respiratory epithelium, not gastrointestinal tissue. These rare anomalies were successfully treated with transoral surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Congenital Anomalies
  • Histopathology

Background:

  • Lingual choristomas and foregut duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies.
  • They often manifest in newborns, potentially causing respiratory or feeding difficulties.
  • These cysts are typically lined by upper aerodigestive tract epithelium.

Observation:

  • Two infants presented with lingual cysts shortly after birth.
  • Histological examination revealed squamous epithelium and respiratory epithelium foci.
  • Crucially, gastrointestinal epithelium was absent, differentiating these from typical choristomas.

Findings:

  • The described lingual cysts represent a distinct histological subtype.
  • Successful surgical excision was achieved using a transoral approach.

  • This case series contributes to understanding the classification of these lesions.

    • Implications:

    • Accurate histological classification is vital for understanding lingual cyst development.
    • Transoral excision is a viable and effective treatment option.
    • Further research may refine the classification of congenital lingual cysts.
