Abstract
ABSTRACT This article reports the case of a patient with lingual bronchogenic cyst and presents a brief review of discrepancies in the nomenclature of lingual cysts. A 2-year-old male patient was admitted to the pediatric surgery outpatient clinic of a university hospital due to the presence of a 2 cm mass on the dorsal surface of the tongue. The tumor was excised and the anatomopathological report revealed a foregut cyst, bronchogenic subtype. Lingual cysts are rare, especially when compatible with bronchogenic formations. Their pathogenic process is not clear; one of the possibilities is the separation of cells from the primitive gut, before the separation between the esophagus and the trachea. The treatment usually consists of surgical excision.

Lingual cysts are rare and are generally classified by the type of epithelium they present[1]
There is no consensus on nomenclature, and multiple terms are used, such as foregut cyst, lingual choristoma, enteric duplication cyst, heterotopic gastrointestinal cyst of oral cavity, among others[2]
