We investigated the clinical and histopathologic features of 26 cases of mucocele of the glands of Blandin-Nuhn. There was a female predominance, and most patients were younger than 20 years. Fifteen patients first visited a medical doctor and 9 visited a dentist before being referred to our department. The average duration from the time the lesion was first noticed to the patient's visit was 3.6 months. All lesions were located on the ventral surface of the tongue. In 17 patients, mucoceles were seen at the tip of the tongue, whereas 9 lesions occurred more posteriorly. Lesions were situated at the midline in 19 patients and laterally in 7 patients. All lesions presented as an exophytic mass, often with a polypoid appearance. All mucoceles were histopathologically of the extravasation type, suggesting that trauma may represent a frequent initiating factor.
我们研究了26例布兰德-努恩腺黏液囊肿的临床和组织病理学特征。女性居多,大多数患者年龄小于20岁。15例患者在转诊至我科之前首先就诊于内科医生,9例就诊于牙医。从首次发现病变到患者就诊的平均时间为3.6个月。所有病变均位于舌腹面。17例患者的黏液囊肿位于舌尖,而9例病变位于更靠后的位置。19例患者的病变位于中线,7例位于侧方。所有病变均表现为外生性肿物,常呈息肉样外观。所有黏液囊肿在组织病理学上均为外渗型,提示创伤可能是常见的起始因素。
