Lymphangioma of the tongue is relatively rare and may cause facial structural deformity. Using a combination of a V-shaped and central resection, we successfully treated a 6-year-old girl who had massive lymphangioma of the tongue. Postoperatively, her tongue was located completely within her mouth with good cosmetic results. Sensory and motor nerves to the tongue appeared to be intact. Her speech was also improved.

Introduction And Importance: Oral Lymphangioma is a rare benign tumor that arises from the lymphatic vessels in oral cavity. It is a development defect in the lymphatic system, which is less common than other types of vascular anomalies, and the incidence in the general population is very low, especially in the oral cavity. It typically presents as soft, painless swelling, often found on the tongue, lips or floor or the mouth.

Article Synopsis
- Lymphangioma is an abnormal growth of lymphatic vessels, with tongue lymphangiomas being relatively rare and traditionally associated with high recurrence rates after treatment.* -
- This study presents two cases where coblation, a form of radiofrequency ablation, was used successfully on tongue lymphangiomas, resulting in rapid recovery and minimal pain for the patients.* -
- The findings suggest that radiofrequency ablation leads to better healing and no recurrence after one year, making it a preferred treatment option for oral lymphangiomas.*

Neoplasms of the tongue are relatively common, and the vast majority are epithelial in phenotype. Although uncommon, a diverse and distinctive array of mesenchymal neoplasms arises in this anatomic site. To increase our understanding of these lesions, we reviewed our experience of MNs of the tongue and described their clinicopathologic features.
