Zusammenfassung
Der ektomesenchymale chondromyxoide Tumor des vorderen Zungenabschnitts ist eine sehr seltene Entität. Insgesamt wurden in der Literatur 37 Fälle mitgeteilt. Wir stellen einen 52-jährigen Mann mit einem ektomesenchymalen chondromyxoiden Tumor an typischer Lokalisation mit charakteristischer lobulärer Proliferation monomorpher Tumorzellen in einem chondromyxoiden Stroma sowie Expression der typischen immunhistochemischen Marker GFAP und S-100 vor. Trotz seiner Seltenheit sollte dieser spezielle Tumor bei umschriebenen Schwellungen des vorderen Zungenabschnitts in der Differenzialdiagnose berücksichtigt werden.
Abstract
Ectomesenchymal chondromyxoid tumor of the anterior tongue is a rare entity. To date, 37 cases have been reported in the literature. We present the case of a 52-year-old male patient with an ectomesenchymal chondromyxoid tumor at the typical location with a characteristic lobular proliferation of ovoid and fusiform uniform tumor cells on a chondromyxoid background and showing expression of typical immunohistochemical markers GFAP and S-100. Despite its rarity, this special tumor should be considered in the differential diagnosis when dealing with localized swellings of the anterior tongue.
