Popis: Hemangiolymphangiomas are rare vascular malformations of both lymphatic and blood vessels in which 80% to 90% are diagnosed during the first 2 years of life. This study highlight the case report of a 25-year-old male patient admitted to the hospital complaining about right submandibular region swelling for approximately 1 year. On clinical examination, he presented a painless lesion with rapid and progressive growth and soft consistency. The tomographic and ultrasound results showed a hypodense and circumscribed lesion with cystic appearance content, measuring 2.1 × 5.7 × 2.0 cm, with lymphadenomegaly unilateral of inflammatory appearance. Excisional biopsy was performed, and histopathologic analysis revealed proliferation of vascular spaces coated with thin and thick layers of endothelial cells, sometimes exhibiting congestion or thrombosis besides extravasations of protein material similar to lymph with diagnosis of hemangiolymphangioma. The patient is under follow-up showing no signs of recurrence.
