Lymphangiomas are benign tumors of the lymphatic vessels, usually found in children. Lymphangiomas, however, may be misdiagnosed and in the absence of treatment may increase in size, producing macroglossia, swallowing and speech interferences, and respiratory difficulty. The size and isolated location of the lesion in the midline of the tongue reported here are unusual; few similar cases have been reported in the literature. Complete surgical excision provided not only removal of the lesion, but allowed normal recontouring of the tongue.
淋巴管瘤是淋巴管的良性肿瘤，通常见于儿童。然而，淋巴管瘤可能会被误诊，并且在未接受治疗的情况下可能会增大，导致巨舌、吞咽和言语障碍以及呼吸困难。此处报告的位于舌中线的病变大小和孤立位置并不常见；文献中报道的类似病例很少。完整的手术切除不仅切除了病变，还使舌头恢复了正常外形。
