Abstrakt: Oral Heterotopic Gastrointestinal Cyst (HGIC) is a rare congenital cyst that can result from the displacement of gastric mucosal cells into other regions of the gastrointestinal tract. A 6-month-old female presented with a painless swelling on the ventral tongue since birth, as reported by her mother. Intraoral examination revealed a pinkish, sessile, softened nodule. Fine needle aspiration showed a fluid resembling saliva. The clinical diagnosis was mucocele, and an excisional biopsy was performed. Macroscopic examination revealed irregular soft tissue fragments, with the largest diameter measuring 1.5cm. Histopathological examination revealed a cystic cavity lined partially by stratified squamous epithelium, ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium, and simple cuboidal epithelium. A section of the cyst was lined by gastric mucosa, consisting of columnar epithelium with gastric pits and goblet cells. In the fibrous cystic wall, muscle tissue was observed immediately below the gastric mucosa. Therefore, the final diagnosis was oral HGIC. The patient is currently undergoing follow-up and has shown no signs of recurrence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
