Mucocele is a lesion that involves the salivary glands and respective current ducts caused mainly by traumas in the affected area. Two different histological forms can be found: extravasation phenomenon and mucus-retention cyst where the former is the most frequently observed involving minor salivary glands such as the glands present in the anterior portion of the ventral surface of the tongue (glands of Blandin-Nuhn).
This report describes a large lesion involving the ventral surface of the tongue that was definitively diagnosed by histological examination as extravasation mucocele.
Important concepts are reviewed to help clinicians correctly diagnose and treat this pathology.
黏液囊肿是一种累及唾液腺及相应导管的病变,主要由病变区域的创伤引起。可发现两种不同的组织学形式:外渗性黏液囊肿和黏液潴留囊肿,其中前者最常见,常累及小唾液腺,如舌腹面(布兰德 - 努恩腺)前部的腺体。
本报告描述了一例累及舌腹面的巨大病变,经组织学检查确诊为外渗性黏液囊肿。
