Lymphatic malformation is a rare disorder caused by expansion and proliferation of the lymphatic vessels. About 50% of lymphatic malformations are present at birth, and 90% are diagnosed before the age of 2 years. The most common site of lymphatic malformation in the oral cavity is the anterior two-thirds of the tongue, and involvement of the buccal mucosa is relatively unusual. Treatment of lymphatic malformation includes surgical excision, sclerotherapy, laser therapy, radiofrequency ablation, or a combination of these interventions. In many cases, surgery or sclerotherapy is the treatment of choice. However, there is currently no consensus on an optimal treatment approach. Here, we report an unusual case of lymphatic malformation in the buccal mucosa of an older adult that was surgically excised.
淋巴管畸形是一种由淋巴管扩张和增殖引起的罕见疾病。约50%的淋巴管畸形在出生时就存在，90%在2岁前被诊断出来。口腔内淋巴管畸形最常见的部位是舌前三分之二，颊黏膜受累相对少见。淋巴管畸形的治疗方法包括手术切除、硬化治疗、激光治疗、射频消融或这些干预措施的联合应用。在许多情况下，手术或硬化治疗是首选的治疗方法。然而，目前对于最佳治疗方法尚无共识。在此，我们报告一例老年成人颊黏膜淋巴管畸形的罕见病例，该病例通过手术切除。
