Abstract

Ectomesenchymal chondromyxoid tumor is a rare benign tumor. It occurs uniquely on the oral cavity partic-ularly the tongue. It was first described in 1995, and only 36 cases were reported in the literature. We report a case of ectomesenchymal chondromyxoid tumor in a 67-years-old male, who presented with an asymptomatic, firm, round shaped mass on the dorsum of the tongue. The lesion was completely excised and confirmed as ec-tomesenchymal chondromyxoid tumor on histopathological examination.

Key Words: Ectomesenchymal chondromyxoid, Tumor, Tongue
