Cavernous lymphangioma is a benign congenital lesion that usually appears in childhood. It rarely presents in the adult but may be diagnosed at this late stage due to the slow growing nature of the tumour. It is rarely found in the salivary glands and when it does occur, the gland is usually incorporated by lymphangioma of surrounding tissue. We present and discuss the case of a cavernous lymphangioma in the parotid gland of an adult male.
海绵状淋巴管瘤是一种良性先天性病变,通常在儿童期出现。它在成人中很少见,但由于肿瘤生长缓慢,可能在晚期才被诊断出来。它在唾液腺中很少见,当确实发生时,腺体通常被周围组织的淋巴管瘤包绕。我们展示并讨论了一例成年男性腮腺海绵状淋巴管瘤的病例。
