Histopathologic Finding of Both Gastric and Respiratory Epithelia in a Lingual Foregut Cyst by Yangfan Luo, Nick Shillingford, Jeffrey A. Koempel

“…This case represents an extremely rare finding of both gastric and respiratory epithelia lined within a single cystic structure in the tongue. Although a very rare finding, a foregut cyst should be on the differential diagnosis of any lesion involving the floor of mouth or tongue in an infant or child.…”
