Description

A case of congenital retension mucous cyst in the uvula was reported in this paper. The patient was a 4-month-old girl who was reffered to our department for a tumor in the pharynx. The tumor was semitransparent, spherical, and approximately 2cm in diameter. The clinical diagnosis was a mucous retension cyst, and it was surgically enucleated under general anesthesia. Histopathologically, the cyst was lined by ciliated columnar epithelium. The minor salivary glands were close to the cyst wall. No recurrence has been observed in 2 years and half after the operation.
