Setting:Department of Clinical Genetics and Foetal Medicine,University Hospital Olomouc.
Subject and Method:The cyst of oral cavity was diagnosed by ultrasound in second trimester of
gestation.It was repeatedly punctured during pregnancy and the content was cytologically examined.Exstirpation was performed after delivery.Histological etiology –dysontogenetic cyst –
was established.
Conclusion:Prenatal ultrasonographical diagnosis of the oral pseudotumour was completed by
puncture procedures.This invasive way verifies anatomical conditions,enables histological investigation and warrants the swallowing act which is the prevention of polyhydramnion.
