Hypothesis
This case report aims to explore the genetic sequencing of multiple fibrolipomas in a pediatric patient.
Conclusion
This study presents the first reported case of multiple fibrolipomas of the tongue in an infant, highlighting the genetic variants associated with the condition.
Supporting Evidence
- This is the first reported case of multiple fibrolipomas of the tongue in an infant.
- Genetic sequencing identified two variants of the C2CD3 gene that may be associated with the condition.
- The surgery to remove the lesions was uneventful and the patient healed well.
Takeaway
This report is about a 1-year-old child who had multiple growths on their tongue, which were surgically removed, and genetic testing was done to understand why they occurred.
Methodology
The case involved surgical excision of the lesions and whole exome sequencing to identify genetic variants.
Limitations
The study is based on a single case, limiting the generalizability of the findings.
Participant Demographics
1-year-old male child from a consanguineous marriage.
