Lymphangiomas are benign congenital tumors that frequently result in macroglossia. Tongue involvement may lead to airway obstruction, swallowing difficulties, mandible-dental deformities, and speech disturbances. This case report demonstrates the many difficulties in diagnosis and management. Reduction in tongue size with preservation of motor and sensory function is best accomplished by wedge resection of the tip of the tongue.
淋巴管瘤是一种良性先天性肿瘤，常导致巨舌症。舌头受累可能导致气道阻塞、吞咽困难、下颌骨-牙齿畸形和言语障碍。本病例报告展示了诊断和治疗中的诸多困难。通过舌尖楔形切除术可在保留运动和感觉功能的同时缩小舌头大小，效果最佳。
