Intralingual foregut duplication cyst: a case report.
A 20-month old girl presented with an intralingual cyst from birth, which interfered with feeding but not respiration. The cyst was completely excised and histology of the wall showed an epithelial lining of stratified squamous and respiratory type epithelium. There has been no recurrence and function of the tongue has remained normal.
