This report describes a rare case of glycogenic acanthosis (GA) located on the tongue of a 72-year-old man. The patient presented with a white plaque that had been on the right side of the tongue for 5 years. Histologically, the lesion was characterised by thickened squamous epithelium with abundant intracellular glycogen deposits. No epithelial dysplasia was noted. This is the first report of GA involving the tongue. This benign condition should be added to the large number of lesions responsible for leukoplakia in this anatomical location.
本报告描述了一例罕见的糖原棘皮症(GA),发生在一名72岁男性的舌部。患者右侧舌部出现白色斑块已达5年。组织学上,病变特征为鳞状上皮增厚,细胞内有大量糖原沉积。未发现上皮发育异常。这是GA累及舌部的首例报告。这种良性病变应被纳入该解剖部位导致白斑的众多病变之中。
