          Abstract

          RESUMEN Se presenta el caso de una paciente mujer de 67 años que acudió al Servicio de Urgencias del Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre derivada de otro centro por sospecha de un absceso cervical de origen odontogénico. Sin embargo, la exploración física sugería una glándula sublingual herniada hacia el espacio submental y el TC informaba de una imagen en reloj de arena, pero el resultado histopatológico no fue ni de ránula sublingual ni de quiste dermoide. A propósito de este caso, se ha llevado a cabo una revisión bibliográfica de las lesiones frecuentemente encontradas en el suelo de la boca y la región cervical.

          Translated abstract

          ABSTRACT A 67-year-old woman attended the Emergency Care Unit at 12 de Octubre Hospital with the suspicion of an odontogenic abscess diagnosed in another hospital. She presented with pain at lower left canine and growing submental mass. However, clinical examination suggested a plunging ranula and CT scan showed a "clock sand-like" image which is typical in dermoid cysts. Anatomic pathology confirmed that the mass was a lymphangioma. A literature review has been done to understand and differentiate masses that can be found in this region.

          Pediatric lymphangiomas of the head and neck.

          To better define the cause, presentation, diagnosis, and staging of lymphangiomas, we reviewed all cases of lymphangiomas of the head and neck region in children seen at our institution between 1986 and 1996. Sixty-seven children were identified (31 male and 36 female). Age at presentation ranged from birth to 18 years. All but 8 patients presented with an obvious mass, and 5 required tracheotomy because of airway obstruction. The most common location was the submandibular region (37%), followed by the parotid gland (31%). Treatment ranged from observation to extensive and multiple resections. Thirty-one patients underwent only 1 resection, and 2 patients received interferon as part of their treatment. Lesions involving the lip, hypopharynx and/or larynx, the tongue, and the floor of the mouth had high rates of recurrent or persistent disease. We review our experience with these difficult lesions and propose a staging system based on functional deficit, cosmetic changes, sites of involvement, and age at diagnosis.

            Oral lymphangioma: A rare case report

            Lymphangiomas are benign hamartomatous tumors of the lymphatic channels which present as developmental malformations arising from sequestration of lymphatic tissue that do not communicate with the rest of the lymphatic channels. Lymphatic vessels are filled with a clear protein-rich fluid containing few lymph cells. It can also occur in association with hemangioma. The onset of lymphangiomas are either at birth (60% to 70%) or up to two years of age (90%) and rare in adults. Lymphangiomas have marked predilection for the head and neck region (50-70%). The most common location in the mouth is the dorsum of tongue, followed by lips, buccal mucosa, soft palate, and floor of the mouth. On tongue, they may present as a localized or a diffused growth which may enlarge to cause macroglossia, impaired speech and difficulty in mastication. Herewith, we present a rare case of lymphangioma of tongue leading to macroglossia in a 8-year-old boy.

              Giant Sublingual Dermoid Cyst in Floor of the Mouth

              The dermoid cysts of the mouth are most frequently located on the median line of the mouth floor and are most likely caused by the retention of the germinal epithelium during the growth of the mandible and hyoid branchial arches. We report an unusual case of giant dermoid cyst of the floor of the mouth in a 17-year female who presented with progressively increasing swelling below her tongue and reviewed the relevant literature.
