A diverticulum is the medical or biological term for outpouching of a hollow structure in the body. It particularly occurs in the digestive system, but rarely occurs in the oral mucosa.
This report describes a rare case of diverticulum presenting in the buccal mucosa in a 44-year-old woman that was initially diagnosed in Stomatology Hospital, Wuhan University. We made our diagnosis under the guidance of imaging data, and the patient underwent surgical resection.
This report is the first confirmed case of buccal mucosal diverticulum. in addition, we elucidated that in general, idiopathic developmental abnormalities caused by succinate muscle defects are responsible for diverticulum development.
憩室是身体中空结构向外突出的医学或生物学术语。它尤其发生在消化系统,但很少发生于口腔黏膜。
本报告描述了一名44岁女性颊黏膜出现憩室的罕见病例,该病例最初在武汉大学口腔医院被诊断。我们在影像学数据的指导下做出诊断,患者接受了手术切除。
本报告是颊黏膜憩室的首例确诊病例。此外,我们阐明,一般来说,由琥珀酸肌缺陷引起的特发性发育异常是憩室形成的原因。
