The tongue is the site of origin of a variety of reactive, neoplastic, and developmental swellings that all share a benign pattern of growth. They are significant because they can interfere with function, they can be mistaken for malignancy, or they can represent part of a syndrome. Distinctive clinicopathologic features of each are useful in differential diagnosis.
舌头是多种反应性、肿瘤性和发育性肿胀的起源部位，这些肿胀均具有良性生长模式。它们很重要，因为它们会干扰功能，可能被误诊为恶性肿瘤，或者可能是综合征的一部分。每种肿胀独特的临床病理特征有助于鉴别诊断。
