Background. Lymphangiomas are benign tumors of abnormal lymphatic tissue. Approximately 6% of all lymphangiomas occur on the tongue. A lymphangioma of the tongue may present as a localized or a diffused growth, which may enlarge to cause macroglossia, impaired speech, and difficulty in mastication. This article reports a 21-year follow-up of a male infant who presented with a giant tongue lymphangioma. This long-term follow-up with multidisciplinary management including partial glossectomy, sclerotherapy, and orthodontic treatment to diminish complications of the disease in adulthood. |
