  • Title: Neonatal lingual choristoma with respiratory and gastric epithelium.
    Author: Mandell DL, Ranganathan S, Bluestone CD.
    Journal: Arch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg; 2002 Nov; 128(11):1321-4. PubMed ID: 12431180.
    Abstract:
    Lingual choristomas are rare entities that typically present as benign cystic masses that are lined with a variety of heterotopic epithelia. Lingual choristomas that are lined with respiratory and/or gastric or intestinal mucosa are believed to derive from pluripotential cells of the embryonic foregut. We describe a neonate with a lingual cyst that was lined predominantly by respiratory epithelium and focally by gastric foveolar epithelium, and we review the terminology, etiology, and management of lingual cysts of presumed foregut origin.
