MIXED GLIAL CHORISTOMA OF TONGUE AND GASTRO-INTESTINAL HETEROTOPIA OF ORAL CAVITY IN A NEWBORN WITH CLEFT PALATE
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 21
Abstract
Mixed choristoma of oral cavity are uncommon lesions that show a variety of clinical presentations. Mixed choristoma with cleft palate is a very rare developmental malformation. We report an unusual case of glial choristoma from anterior two third and lateral border of tongue and intestinal heterotopia from soft tissues of neck occupying left sub mandibular region. Heterotopic brain tissue of the tongue is considered to be one of the very rare choristomatous lesions in the new born. The term choristoma means normal tissue in an abnormal location. The etiology and pathogenesis remain debatable. Glial choristoma is a developmental malformation of heterotopic central nervous tissue with limited growth potential. Oral glial choristoma affecting neonates do not show any intracranial communication. Gastro intestinal choristoma is a well described entity in gastrointestinal tract.
