Tumors of the tongue and the base of mouth are seen rarely in children. The incidence of the ones that are large enough to fill the oral cavity is especially low. If not recognized and treated, tongue tumors may obstruct the upper aero-digestive tract and be fatal. A case of a huge lingual cystic tumor mimicking ranula, and obstructing the upper aero-digestive tract, which was diagnosed antenatal and treated during and after the delivery, is presented together with a review of the literature.
BACKGROUND: All non-invasive diagnostic algorithms suffer from diagnostic uncertainty in discriminating benign from malignant adnexal masses. CASE: We present a case where the identification of a large solitary multiloculated pelvic cyst in a woman with postmenopausal bleeding was shown to be multifocal multicystic benign mesothelioma (MBM) of the peritoneum at laparotomy. CONCLUSION: We wish to alert gynaecologists of this rare association and the unique appearance of mesothelioma lesions, which many would not instantly recognise. There is a lack of consensus on the treatment and follow-up of MBM. Most authorities consider curative treatment of MBM is achievable through complete disease cytoreduction (peritonectomy) as carried out in the case.
