Duplication cyst with esophageal mucosa at the floor of the mouth: a case report.
Intraoral localization of alimentary tract duplication is extremely rare. We report a duplication cyst at the floor of the mouth, lined by esophageal epithelium and treated successfully by surgical excision. To our knowledge, this is the third case of intraoral enteric duplication cysts lined with esophageal epithelium reported in the literature.
