Lymphangiomas are benign hamartomatous tumours similar to lymphatic vessel neoplasms, originating from lymphatic tissue sequestration and may or may not communicate with the rest of the system. There are several treatment options for lymphangioma, such as surgery, sclerotherapy, cryotherapy, lasers, steroids and bleomycin. Although surgery is the most indicated treatment, it can result in severe sequelae and loss of function in patients. The present case shows a 5-year-old patient diagnosed with extensive tongue lymphangioma and, due to the mutilation that would be caused by its complete excision, the option was for more conservative treatments such as laser therapy and cryotherapy. After follow-up for 8 years, the patient presents with preserved functions and controlled lesion.
淋巴管瘤是一种良性错构瘤性肿瘤，类似于淋巴管肿瘤，起源于淋巴组织隔离，可能与系统的其他部分相通，也可能不相通。淋巴管瘤有多种治疗选择，如手术、硬化治疗、冷冻治疗、激光治疗、类固醇和博来霉素。虽然手术是最推荐的治疗方法，但它可能导致患者出现严重后遗症和功能丧失。本病例显示一名5岁患者被诊断为广泛性舌淋巴管瘤，由于完全切除会导致毁容，因此选择了更保守的治疗方法，如激光治疗和冷冻治疗。经过8年的随访，患者功能保留，病变得到控制。
