In this case series, we present four unique cases of Riga-Fede disease (RFD), a rare disorder characterized by mucosal trauma as a result of repetitive tongue protrusion against the incisors, leading to the development of a large oral mass/ulceration. Due to the rapid development and growth of these lesions mimicking malignancy, it is important for the general and pediatric otolaryngologist to correctly diagnose and treat this benign disorder. This series highlights the variable clinical presentations, along with comorbidities of RFD, as well as the importance of interdisciplinary care between the pediatric otolaryngologist and pediatric dentist in its management.

在本病例系列中,我们呈现了四例 Riga-Fede 病(RFD)的独特病例,这是一种罕见的疾病,其特征为由于重复性地将舌头伸出抵住切牙而导致的黏膜创伤,进而发展为大型口腔肿块/溃疡。由于这些病变的快速发展和生长类似于恶性肿瘤,因此普通耳鼻喉科医生和儿科耳鼻喉科医生正确诊断和治疗这种良性疾病非常重要。本系列病例突出了 RFD 的各种临床表现和合并症,以及儿科耳鼻喉科医生和儿科牙医之间进行跨学科治疗的重要性。《喉镜》,134:4803-4805,2024。
