Abstract :
Mucoceles are one of the most common benign soft tissue masses of
the oral cavity. When they occur in the tongue, the ventral surface is
the usual location. Mucoceles at the base of the tongue are extremely
rare and must be differentiated from intralingual thyroglossal duct
cysts. We present a case of a mucocele on the base of the tongue, which
was incidentally found on a cervical spinal magnetic resonance image. We
include a review of the literature on image findings, pathologic type,
differential diagnosis, clinical symptoms, and treatment of oral
mucoceles.
