Resumen:
Mucoceles of the glands of Blandin-Nuhn consist in a mucus extravasation
phenomenon that occurs in the salivary glands located in the anterior
ventral surface of the tongue. They are mixed, not encapsulated, and
part of the complex of minor salivary glands of the oral cavity.
Objective: This paper presents the clinical case of a male patient in
his second decade of life with peculiar clinical characteristics of a
mucocele of the glands of Blandin-Nuhn.
Clinical case: A 14-year-old male adolescent has an increase in volume
located on the ventral surface of the tongue, of cylindrical shape, with
three months of evolution and is asymptomatic. An excisional biopsy is
performed for histopathological study, which reports mucosal
extravasation phenomenon and a histopathological clinical correlation is
established.
Conclusions: A correct diagnosis should have a solid foundation in order
to provide timely treatment and avoid complications for the patient that
may affect quality of life.
