Lymphangiomas are uncommon congenital lesions of the lymphatic system, most often located in the head and neck. Most of these lesions manifest in children less than 2 years of age. Involvement of the larynx in isolation is rare and only a few cases have been reported so far. We report the case of a thirteen-year-old girl who presented with a swelling in the supraglottis. Excision of the mass was done after tracheotomy. Histopathological diagnosis was lymphangioma of the larynx. After a follow up of 15 months the patient is free of recurrence with all functions of larynx being normal.
