Glial choristoma is a developmental malformation of heterotopic central nervous system tissue. Brain heterotopias are generally considered congenital malformations, embryologically related to encephaloceles from which they can be differentiated by the absence of an anatomic connection with the brain. The nasal region is the most frequently affected site while the oral and maxillofacial region involving the palate, tongue, oropharynx, and so on is a relatively rare site. We present a case of glial choristoma located on right anterior tonsillar pillar with contralateral deviation of the uvula of a male, 14 year old. Mother reports that the paciente was born with this mass and she lost follow-up. Pacient denies dysphagia, odynophagia or other complaints. The glial choristoma measured 1.7 x 1.0 cm with a somooth homogeneous external surface and without extension to the larynx. Complete surgical excision was performed with no postoperative complications and the pacient remains on ambulatory follow-up. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
