Differential Diagnosis of Tongue Lesion
Vascular Malformations
-
Clinical Features
- Location: tongue and lips (most common)
- Appearance: Dark, reddish-purple in colour, smooth surface, flat, or raised lesion of the oral mucosa
- Blanch on pressure, usually solitary
-
- Present at birth and persist throughout life
- Multiple lesions may occur in syndrome: Sturge-Weber Syndrome

-
Clinical Features
- Most common tumor of infancy (F:M, 3:1)
- Usually in whites compared to other racial groups
- Location – head & neck region (most common)
- Present as bright red, non-compressible papule, nodule, plaque
- Most haemangiomas will completely resolve by age 9 years old
Lymphangioma
Definition
Benign proliferation, hamartomatous tumorlike growth of lymphatic vessels
Clinical Features
- Location: Tongue anterior 2/3 (most common) --> often result in macroglossia
- Present as pale, translucent, smooth, nodular elevations
- Lesion is superficial and demonstrates a pebbly surface
- Primary appear as yellowish & soft. Secondary hemorrhage into lymphatic spaces may cause these “vesicles” to become purple
- More likely to result in respiratory difficulties if they grow larger
Cystic Variety
Cystic Hygroma
- Large diffuse lymphangioma of very dilated lymphatics
- Most often lymphangioma seen in the neck area
- Can be life-threatening as it can be larger than 15cm
