A 20-year-old Japanese woman was referred to the hospital for examination and treatment of an asymptomatic swelling of the left dorsum of the tongue. Intraoral examination revealed that the tumor was covered with normal mucosa and oval, firm on palpation and measured 1.5 cm in diameter. The lesion was movable suggesting benignity in nature. No cervical lymph node was palpated. The cut surface of the extirpated tumor after fixation showed a chalky white "core region" surrounded with a yellowish white adipose tissue. Histopathological examination revealed the lesion to be a benign cartilaginous tumor. We report this case of chondroma which arose from the tongue because of its rarity, and reviewed related literature.
一名20岁的日本女性因左侧舌背无症状肿胀而被转诊至我院进行检查和治疗。口腔检查发现肿瘤表面覆盖正常黏膜，呈椭圆形，触诊质地坚硬，直径1.5厘米。病变可活动，提示为良性。未触及颈部淋巴结。切除的肿瘤经固定后，其切面显示有一个灰白色的“核心区域”，周围为黄白色脂肪组织。组织病理学检查显示该病变为良性软骨肿瘤。我们报告这例罕见的舌部软骨瘤病例，并复习相关文献。
