Abstract
Glial choristoma is considered a developmental malformation characterized by brain heterotopias without connection to the central nervous system. In this article, we report a rare case of glial choristoma occurring on the dorsum of the tongue with cleft palate in a 3-month-old male infant. Complete surgical excision was performed prior to palatoplasty. There were no postoperative complications or evidence of recurrence after 5 years of follow-up.
