title: [Lingual abscess].
abstract: The unilateral abscess of the anterior portion of the tongue is an extremely rare occurrence. We report a case in which we have used the ultrasonography in the diagnosis, and discuss, as etiologic hypothesis the participation of Blandin-Nühn glands in the genesis of these abscess.
