Lymphangioma of the tongue : case report and review of the literature

A case of lymphangioma in the tongue is discussed with special reference to diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. The patient is a boy, aged 13, with a congenital malformation in the right half of the tongue. The lesion was removed by surgery. Histologic examination showed lymphangioma. In cases of minor, localized lymphangiomas the clinical diagnosis may be difficult. A past history information of recurring swellings can be regarded as almost diagnostic. The treatment of choice is surgery, if necessary in several settings. Recurrences are often seen.
