[Prenatal diagnosis of granular cell myoblastoma--a case report].
BACKGROUND
The aim of this paper is to present a case of prenatal diagnosis of a congenital tumor of the oral cavity diagnosed at 28 weeks of gestation.


METHODS
After the diagnosis of oral cavity tumor was made by 21) ultrasound, a 3D scan was performed, which confirmed the diagnosis revealing a peduncle at the upper border of maxilla. A detailed scan was performed and no additional anomalies were seen. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed, confirming the diagnosis and the site of the tumor. Karyotype was previously done, and a normal female karyotype was found. Regular three-week follow-up scans were performed to follow the growth of the tumor, as well as the state of the amniotic fluid. No tumor growth was detected, and the amniotic fluid volume was normal until 39 weeks of gestation. Cesarean section was scheduled, due to the risk of tumor disruption during a vaginal delivery. A maxillofacial surgeon was present during an uneventful cesarean section and a complete surgical excision was done immediately after the baby was extracted and umbilical cord ligated. The histopathological diagnosis was: granular cell myoblastoma. The female newborn was developing normally, and at 5 months of age there were no traces of scarring at the place of the tumor.


CONCLUSIONS
In cases of prenatal diagnosis of tumors of the oral cavity, where development of polyhydramnios can be expected, as well as difficulties with feeding and breathing after birth, it is important to make a plan for adequate follow-up and prompt surgical treatment immediately after birth.
