    (A) The cystic lesion of the tongue is lined by gastric epithelium resembling the fundus/body portion of the stomach (H&E, OM 20×). (B) Ulcerated areas covered by fibrinopurulent exudates and granulation tissues (H&E, OM 10×). (C) Note rod bacilli suggestive of Helicobacter pylori next to the surface of cystic lesion (Giemsa stain, OM 100×).

    Immunohistochemical findings of lingual cyst lined with gastric epithelium. (A) Strong immunoreactivity in all cystic epithelium for AE1/AE3 (IHC, OM 20×). (B) Uniform membranous immunoreactivity for β-catenin (IHC, OM 40×). (C) Uniform immunoreactivity for CK8 (IHC, OM 40×). (D) CK19 marked the lining epithelium and deep mucous cells. Note that the parietal cells are negative (IHC, OM 40×).
