Lymphangiomas are uncommon congenital tumors of the lymphatic system which usually occur in the head and neck; involvement of the tongue is rare. We report the case of a six-year-old Asian girl with a lymphangioma of the tongue. The differential diagnosis and treatment of tongue lymphangioma are also reviewed. It is important for emergency physicians to recognize unusual lesions such as lymphangioma, because early recognition and surgical excision of these tumors are essential for an optimal outcome.
淋巴管瘤是淋巴系统罕见的先天性肿瘤，通常发生于头颈部；累及舌部的情况罕见。我们报告一例6岁亚洲女童舌部淋巴管瘤病例。同时对舌部淋巴管瘤的鉴别诊断及治疗进行综述。对于急诊医生而言，识别诸如淋巴管瘤这类不常见病变很重要，因为早期识别并手术切除这些肿瘤对于获得最佳治疗效果至关重要。
