Lymphangiomas are enough rare benign congenital tumors of the lymphatic vessels, frequently encountered during childhood. They are found in the head and neck region, the isolated localization in the nasopharynx is very rare. We present the case of 54-year-old man admitted in the Department of Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT), Emergency University Hospital of Bucharest, Romania, with a nasopharynx tumor certificated by computed tomography (CT) scan with significant bleeding to a previous incisional biopsy temptation rising angiofibroma suspicion. We performed the radical surgical excision of mass by transoral approach. Postoperative bleeding imposed angiography with right internal maxillary artery embolization. Histopathological evaluation showed the diagnosis of lymphangioma. After three years, the patient is without recurrence.
淋巴管瘤是相当罕见的淋巴管良性先天性肿瘤，在儿童期较为常见。它们多发生于头颈部区域，孤立于鼻咽部的情况极为罕见。我们报告一例54岁男性患者，该患者因鼻咽部肿瘤入住罗马尼亚布加勒斯特紧急大学医院耳鼻喉科，经计算机断层扫描（CT）证实存在显著出血，此前切开活检曾怀疑为血管纤维瘤。我们通过经口入路对肿物进行了根治性手术切除。术后出血促使进行了血管造影及右上颌内动脉栓塞术。组织病理学评估显示诊断为淋巴管瘤。三年后，患者无复发。
