“…10,11 The most common location is the ventral surface of the anterior tongue, with extension to the floor of the mouth. 10,12 Other reported sites of involvement include the lips, 5 the larynx, 13 the submandibular glands, 7,14,[15][16][17][18][19][20] and the anterior neck. 21 Although the exact mechanism is unknown, there have been several proposed theories on the pathogenesis of heterotopic gastrointestinal and/or respiratory cysts of the oral cavity.…”

“…Cystic lesions of the tongue and floor of the mouth include ranula (mucocele), dermoid and epidermoid cysts, thyroglosssal duct cyst, lymphoepithelial cyst, cystic hygroma (lymphangioma), and cysts with heterotopic gastrointestinal mucosa [2,4]. Since 1895, about 30 cases of the latter lesion have been reported in the available literature in English, in which it represents an extremely rare oral cystic lesion.…”

Cystic lesions of the oral cavity are quite common. Mostly their morphology is that of simple cystic lesions lined by squamous epithelium. Rarely the epithelium may be of another type, e.g. that of gastrointestinal tract. In the English literature in English about 30 cases of oral cysts with gastrointestinal epithelium lining have been reported. This developmental lesion is very rare and is found more frequently in young males. The majority of lesions were reported to occur in the ventral surface of the anterior tongue and extend to the floor of the mouth. Heterotopic gastrointestinal epithelium has been more commonly described in the duodenum, gallbladder, jejunum, Meckel's diverticulum, ileum, appendix, colon and rectum. We report an oral heterotopic gastrointestinal cyst in a child. A healthy 2-month-old boy had an asymptomatic swelling in the sublingual area that had been present since birth. Under general anesthesia, the patient underwent conservative excision of the cyst. Gross examination of the excised tissue showed a monolocular cystic lesion in the bottom of the oral cavity. Microscopically, the cystic lining mostly resembled intestinal mucosa; in some places, stratified squamous and columnar epithelium was also present. The pathogenesis of this lesion remains uncertain. Several theories have been postulated; the most commonly held suggests that these cysts may be derived from misplacement of embryonic rests.

“…Since Foderl2 first introduced the case of an oral heterotopic gastrointestinal cyst in 1895, approximately 45 cases have been reported in the literature 3-7. Heterotopic gastrointestinal cysts in the oral cavity usually involve the soft tissue of the mouth floor and tongue 1,7-9. Systematic reviews of the literature revealed that only four published cases of heterotopic gastrointestinal cysts have been described in the submandibular region; three of these cases were exclusively composed of gastric mucosa, and the remaining case's specific mucosa type was not identified 4,6,10,11.…”

Heterotopic Intestinal Cyst of the Submandibular Gland: A Case Study

et al. 2013

Heterotopic gastrointestinal cysts are rarely found in the oral cavity. Most of these cysts are lined with gastric mucosa and involve the tongue. There have been no reported heterotopic intestinal cysts of the submandibular gland that are completely lined with colonic mucosa. An 8-year-old girl presented with an enlarging swelling in the left submandibular area, and a 4-cm unilocular cyst was fully excised. The cyst was completely lined with colonic mucosa that was surrounded by smooth muscle layer, and the lining cells were positive for CDX-2, an intestinal marker, indicating a high degree of differentiation. The pathogenesis remains unclear, but it may be related to the misplacement of embryonic rests within the oral cavity during early fetal development. Although heterotopic intestinal cysts rarely occur in the submandibular gland, they should be considered in the differential diagnosis of facial swellings in the pediatric population.
