| Popis: | Lymphangiomas are benign hamartomatous tumors arising from malformation of the lymphatic vessels. The present study aims to report a clinical case of a pediatric patient whose lesion was nodular, 5 mm in its largest diameter, of smooth surface, pediculated, and of pink color in the ventral surface of the tongue near the apex; the patient's anti-HIV test was positive. Excisional biopsy of the lesion was performed in order to rule out hypotheses of fibroma of irritation, mucocele, and lymphoid hyperplasia. However, atypical proliferation of lymphatic vessels was observed histopathologically and, because of the status as an HIV+ pediatric patient, immunohistochemical tests with exclusion of human herpesvirus-8 and Ki67 were performed, with the final diagnosis of lymphangioma. There are few reports in the literature like the above, so in these cases, the pathologic examination in conjunction with other tests becomes essential for differential diagnosis and establishment of correlation of underlying diseases. |
