DUPLICAŢIA DE LIMBĂ, ENTITATE MALFORMATIVĂ EXTREM DE RARĂ - PREZENTARE DE CAZ.

Accessory tongue, a very rare anomaly - case presentation.

Duplicative tongue is a very rare anomaly. Only a few cases were reported in the literature. It can cause upper airway obstruction or eating disorders. Radical surgical excision leads to a good functional outcome. We present a case of tongue duplication associated with a mandibular outline duplication and the presence of aberrant sublingual glands. The case was surgically treated in our clinic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
