Tongue Metastasis of Mucinous Colorectal Adenocarcinoma: Report of a Rare Case.
Metastases in the oral and maxillofacial region, particularly in soft tissues, are exceedingly rare. Such metastases can present as swelling in older individuals, especially in the tongue and gingiva. Furthermore, colorectal metastases at this site are commonly found in the mandible and gingiva and usually share the same morphology as the primary tumor. Herein, we report the case of a 61-year-old woman with a metastatic nodule in the tongue covered by normal mucosa. The clinical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical findings were essential for the final diagnosis of colorectal metastasis, consistent with adenocarcinoma with mucinous differentiation and intestinal phenotype. Metastases of colorectal adenocarcinoma to the tongue are rare but should be included in the differential diagnosis of nodular lesions at this site. The diagnosis can therefore be made based on meticulous clinical and histopathological examination complemented by immunohistochemistry.
期刊介绍:
Head & Neck Pathology presents scholarly papers, reviews and symposia that cover the spectrum of human surgical pathology within the anatomic zones of the oral cavity, sinonasal tract, larynx, hypopharynx, salivary gland, ear and temporal bone, and neck.
The journal publishes rapid developments in new diagnostic criteria, intraoperative consultation, immunohistochemical studies, molecular techniques, genetic analyses, diagnostic aids, experimental pathology, cytology, radiographic imaging, and application of uniform terminology to allow practitioners to continue to maintain and expand their knowledge in the subspecialty of head and neck pathology. Coverage of practical application to daily clinical practice is supported with proceedings and symposia from international societies and academies devoted to this field.
Single-blind peer review
The journal follows a single-blind review procedure, where the reviewers are aware of the names and affiliations of the authors, but the reviewer reports provided to authors are anonymous. Single-blind peer review is the traditional model of peer review that many reviewers are comfortable with, and it facilitates a dispassionate critique of a manuscript.
