RESUMEN
Las glándulas de Blandin-Nuhn son un grupo de pequeñas glándulas salivales mucoserosas, ubicadas en el espesor de los haces musculares de la zona anterior de la cara ventral de la lengua. Los mucoceles de las glándulas de Blandin-Nuhn son poco frecuentes. Se revisa la literatura y se presentan dos casos de mucocele de las glándulas de Blandin-Nuhn, ambos casos eran lesiones exofíticas, indoloras, una de ellas asociada a trauma. Los mucoceles de las glándulas salivales linguales anteriores deben ser resecados hasta el plano muscular para evitar la recidiva. Como esta lesión puede ser confundida con otras patologías, se recomienda su estudio histopatológico para evitar diagnósticos errados.
The Blandin-Nuhn glands are a small group of mucous serous salivary glands, located in the thickness of the muscle bundles of the anterior ventral side of the tongue. Mucocele of the glands of Blandin-Nuhn has been reported as unusual. We review the literature and present two cases of mucocele of the glands of Blandin-Nuhn, both cases were exophytic lesions, painless, one associated with trauma. Mucoceles of the salivary glands should be resected up to the muscular plane to avoid recurrence. Because this lesion may be confused with other diseases, it is recommended an histopathological exam to avoid misdiagnosis.

We report a 29 years old female presenting with fever and painful infiltrated erythematous and violaceous plates with pseudo vesicles in the surface, located in both arms, four days after having suffered a tonsillitis. She was admitted with the diagnosis of Sweet syndrome and the lesions disappeared spontaneously. Two months later, she presented with a similar condition, again after an upper respiratory infection. Five months later, she was admitted with arthralgias with positive rheumatoid factor and antinuclear antibodies. Three years after the first admission, she was admitted with an acute glomerulonephritis and renal failure after another upper respiratory infection. Sweet syndrome was described in 1964 and, although initially considered benign, its association with inflammatory diseases or cancer has been reported
