Lymphangioma is a malformation of superficial lymphatic vessels. Tongue lymphangiomas are relatively uncommon. Multiple treatment modalities have been reported, with variable treatment responses. Most of the traditional treatment modalities have a high recurrence rate.
We describe the use of coblation in the management of lymphangioma circumscriptum of the dorsum of tongue in two patients. Radiofrequency ablation of oral lymphangiomas showed early postoperative oral intake and minimal postoperative pain. There was no recurrence of disease on 1 year follow up.
Improved wound healing, early postoperative oral intake and minimal postoperative pain, make radiofrequency ablation a highly valuable treatment modality for oral lymphangiomas and may be recommended as the treatment of choice.
淋巴管瘤是一种浅表淋巴管的畸形。舌部淋巴管瘤相对少见。已有多种治疗方式的报道,治疗反应各不相同。大多数传统治疗方式复发率较高。
我们描述了在两名患者中使用低温等离子消融术治疗舌背局限性淋巴管瘤的情况。口腔淋巴管瘤的射频消融术显示术后早期即可经口进食,且术后疼痛轻微。随访1年疾病无复发。
伤口愈合改善、术后早期经口进食以及术后疼痛轻微,使射频消融术成为治疗口腔淋巴管瘤非常有价值的治疗方式,可推荐作为首选治疗方法。
