Abstract
A case of an oral heterotopic gastrointestinal cyst of the tongue is described and a review of the literature is presented. The oral gastrointestinal cyst is a developmental lesion found more commonly in males, with a wide age range, but mostly occurring in the young. It presents as an asymptomatic swelling and most likely arises from misplaced embryonal tissue. Conservative surgical excision is the treatment of choice and no recurrence is expected.Entities:
