A case of a glial teratoma occurring in the tongue of a twelve week old male child is presented. This lesion was thought clinically to be a lingual thyroid. Histopathological examination revealed the true nature of the lesion. The mother had noticed the lesion since birth but only sought medical attention when the child developed difficulty in breathing. Teratomas in the head and neck region are uncommon and are commonly diagnosed wrongly as lingual thyroid. These lesions are usually benign.
本文报告一例发生于一名12周大男童舌部的胶质畸胎瘤。临床上，该病变被认为是舌甲状腺。组织病理学检查揭示了病变的真实性质。母亲自孩子出生就注意到了该病变，但直到孩子出现呼吸困难才寻求医疗帮助。头颈部区域的畸胎瘤并不常见，通常被误诊为舌甲状腺。这些病变通常是良性的。
