Abstract

Lymphangioma is a rare benign tumor resulting from a congenital malformation of the lymphatic system, usually diagnosed in infancy and early childhood. Intraoral lymphangiomas occur more frequently on the dorsum of tongue, followed by the palate, buccal mucosa, gingiva, and lips. Lymphangioma of the tongue is a common cause of macroglossia in children associated with difculty in swallowing and mastication, speech disturbances, airway obstruction, mandibular prognathism, open bite, and other possible deformities of maxillofacial structures. The most effective treatment depends on their size and location.
