Author:

Abstract

Lymphangioma is a rare benign tumor in the head-and-neck region. These lesions are usually congenital malformation of the lymphatic system. Development of lymphangioma in the postauricular area of the head-and-neck region is extremely rare. Although lymphangioma can be found throughout the body, it has a greater frequency in the cervicofacial area. Histological examination of the excisional biopsy confirms the diagnosis of lymphangioma. Surgery is still considered as the treatment of choice. There are few other treatment options like sclerosing agents such as bleomycin, sodium morrhuate, doxycycline, tetracycline, and OK-432. Here, we are presenting a case of giant lymphangioma in the postauricular area and treated with complete surgical excision.
