This is a report of a patient with bilateral symmetrical lymphangiomas of the mandibular gingiva which presented clinically as chronic localized gingivitis. The lesions were removed by conventional gingivectomy and have not recurred after 2 years. Both lesions were of the cavernous type and apparently confined to the gingiva. Their distribution indicates them to be developmental anomalies rather than tumors. For this reason it is felt that local excision is adequate even if the mass is incompletely removed. Anomalies should not recur in the same fashion as a tumor.
本文报告一例下颌牙龈双侧对称性淋巴管瘤患者，临床上表现为慢性局限性牙龈炎。通过常规牙龈切除术切除病变，术后2年未复发。两个病变均为海绵状型，明显局限于牙龈。其分布表明它们是发育异常而非肿瘤。因此，即使肿块未完全切除，局部切除也足够了。异常情况不应像肿瘤那样复发。
