An eight year-old girl complained difficulty in speaking and in moving tongue because of presence of a small-finger-sized tumor at sublingual mucosa of the left side. The tumor was found there early on a day of one week old infant and has been growing ever since. An examination on the taste could not find any abnormality, but a salty taste. On August 11, 1955 surgical operation removed it successfully and no recurrence as yet. The biopsy found nearly proper tissue elements of the tongue in it.
