Lymphangioma Of Tongue In A Paediatric Patient– A Rare Case Report

Lymphangiomas are uncommon, non-cancerous congenital malformations involving the lymphatic vessels. They are most frequently observed in the head and neck area. Intraoral involvement is relatively rare, with the dorsal surface of the tongue being the most frequently affected site, followed by the lips, buccal mucosa, soft palate, and floor of the mouth. When present in the oral cavity, these lesions can lead to complications such as enlarged tongue (macroglossia), difficulty in speaking, and challenges with feeding. Surgical removal is typically the preferred method of treatment.
