“…The majority of oral LEC were found to develop in the tongue and floor of the mouth (Table 4). In addition, similar to oral LEC presented, the literature also indicates that they are small lesions that generally do not exceed more than 2 cm [2][3][4][16][17][18][19][20][21][22].…”

“…The ratio of female:male for oral LECs is 1.33 (four females to three males), according to our cases (Table 3), and 0.9 (255:258) in the literature (Table 4). Though the majority of studies analyzed reveals female predilection [2,[16][17][18]20,21], one large series of cases from China [4] skewed the general trend, resulting in a slight male predilection. The preferred location of the oral LEC is the tongue and floor of the mouth (Table 4), where three (42%) of our cases occurred, followed by single lesion each at the palate, ventral tongue, and tonsillar fossa.…”

“…All three conditions can present as solitary, asymptomatic, mucosa-colored, sessile, or pedunculated nodule, but only mucocele predominates at a younger age. [3][4][5] Mucocele, even if infrequent on the dorsum of the tongue, should be considered a differential diagnosis of asymptomatic, slow-growing, nodular lesions in the tongue's posterior region, as its occurrence has already been shown in a few cases, usually with greater frequency in the oral cavity and followed by lymphoepithelial cysts or granular cell tumors. An evaluation of the clinical aspects should be considered for decision-making on the treatment of nodular lesions on the tongue, whereas a biopsy, which tends to be the treatment itself, followed by histopathological analysis, is essential for making a proper diagnosis.…”
