Autoamputation is an uncommon phenomenon that has been reported for the fingers, toes, appendix, ovary, spleen, etc. Autoamputation of the tongue has never been reported. An elderly man with carcinoma of lateral pharyngeal wall and tonsil presented with an autoamputated tongue that was attached to the oral cavity with a thin band. The patient required detachment of the tongue and tracheostomy followed by radiotherapy for the primary tumour.
自体断离是一种罕见现象，已见诸手指、脚趾、阑尾、卵巢、脾脏等部位的报道。舌体自体断离从未有过报道。一名患有咽侧壁和扁桃体癌的老年男性出现舌体自体断离，断离的舌体通过一条细带与口腔相连。患者需要将舌体分离并进行气管切开术，随后对原发肿瘤进行放射治疗。
