Lymphangioma insults in adults are uncommon and the occurrence in the oropharynx is extremely rare. Although disease history and clinical symptoms may help in distinguishing it from malignant tumors, the pathophysiology of lymphangioma via histological examinations should be established for convenient and precise diagnosis. We present a 20-year-old male with lymphangioma in the right oropharynx, and the multiple-angle examination and treatment plan used. The case further emphasizes the need to consider lymphangioma in the differential diagnosis of an oropharyngeal mass. Awareness that lymphangioma can occur in adults is important for its proper management, which includes complete surgical removal to prevent recurrence.

The hamartomatous polyp is a rare benign hamartoma of the palatine tonsil, usually encountered during the second decade of life. It may be reported under various terms in the literature, like lymphangioma of the tonsil, angiofibrolipoma, lymphangiomatous tonsillar polyp and lymphangiectatic fibrous polyp. Macroscopically, it appears as a large, pale, pedunculated mass.

Background: The "Ex-Utero Intrapartum Treatment" (EXIT) procedure allows to ensure fetal airway before completion of delivery and umbilical cord clamping while keeping uteroplacental circulation. Airway obstruction in fetal oropharyngeal and cervical masses can be life-threatening at birth. In those situations, controlled access to fetal airway performed by a trained multidisciplinary team allows safe airway management, while feto-maternal circulation is preserved.
