Popis: The lingual cyst with respiratory epithelium, a congenital cyst of the tongue or floor of the mouth, is lined predominately by respiratory-type epithelium. The terminology for this lesion was first proposed in 1999 by Manor et al., who stated that a descriptive term is best for this cyst of debatable pathogenesis. Although it is a cyst of foregut origin, the lingual cyst with respiratory epithelium is distinguished from the traditional enteric (foregut) duplication cyst in that the latter contains gastric and/or intestinal-type mucosa and has smooth muscle within the cyst wall. This article presents 2 new cases of this entity, as well as reviews the 19 cases that have been reported in the literature and were found to fulfill the histologic criteria of an lingual cyst with respiratory epithelium.
