Examination of 5366 dry mandibles at the Smithsonian Institution revealed three cases of unilateral lingual defects superior to the mandibular foramen. The differential diagnosis includes a neuroma, neurolemmoma, hemangioma, or aneurysm of the inferior alveolar artery. The clinical significance of a vascular neoplasm or aneurysm would be the likelihood of increasing the risk of injecting the anesthetic solution directly into a blood vessel.
对史密森学会的5366个干燥下颌骨进行检查后发现，有3例下颌孔上方的单侧舌侧缺损病例。鉴别诊断包括神经瘤、神经鞘瘤、血管瘤或下牙槽动脉的动脉瘤。血管性肿瘤或动脉瘤的临床意义在于，将麻醉溶液直接注入血管的风险可能会增加。
