Background And Objectives: The unifying articular theory suggests that intraneural ganglion cysts in the cubital tunnel arise from the elbow joint and are connected to the ulnar nerve through an articular branch. This study aimed to report our clinical experience with these cysts and our surgical findings and outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- Oral focal mucinosis (OFM) is a rare oral mucosal lesion that usually does not appear on the tongue, but a case was reported in a 71-year-old woman.* -
- The clinical characteristics of OFM are not well established, making it hard to tell apart from other lesions without histopathological analysis.* -
- Despite being rare, OFM on the tongue generally has a good prognosis with surgical removal and should be considered when diagnosing painless masses in the oral cavity.*
