Lymphangioma is a benign hamartomatous lesion caused by congenital malformation of the lymphatic system. This benign tumor is detected most commonly at birth or in early childhood but rarely in adults. On clinical examination, most lymphangiomas contain clear lymph fluid, but some may present as transparent vesicles containing red blood cells due to hemorrhage. In addition, lymphangioma may occur in association with hemangioma. This tumor occurs most commonly in the head and neck area, but rarely in the oral cavity. The dorsum of the tongue is the most common location in the mouth, followed by the lips, buccal mucosa, soft palate, and floor of the mouth. There are various treatment approaches for lymphangioma, but surgical excision is the preferred method. We present a case of a 26-year-old man with lymphangioma on the anterior dorsal part of the tongue, not associated with any dysfunction in mastication or speech disorders.
淋巴管瘤是一种由淋巴系统先天性畸形引起的良性错构瘤性病变。这种良性肿瘤最常见于出生时或幼儿期，在成人中很少见。临床检查时，大多数淋巴管瘤含有清澈的淋巴液，但有些可能因出血而表现为含有红细胞的透明水疱。此外，淋巴管瘤可能与血管瘤同时发生。这种肿瘤最常见于头颈部区域，但很少发生在口腔。舌背是口腔中最常见的部位，其次是嘴唇、颊黏膜、软腭和口腔底部。淋巴管瘤有多种治疗方法，但手术切除是首选方法。我们报告一例26岁男性患者，其舌背前部患有淋巴管瘤，未伴有任何咀嚼功能障碍或言语障碍。
