Lymphangiomas are benign tumors of the lymphatic system characterized by congenital lymphatic malformation such as anastomosis or obstruction of the lymphatic channels. They are most frequently diagnosed in children younger than 2 years, and the lymphangiomas in head and neck represent about 50-75% of all lymphangiomas. Spontaneous regression is rare, and rapid enlargement occurs secondary to infection or trauma. Enlargement may cause serious sequence such as airway obstruction, feeding difficulties, and cosmetic problems. Treatments previously used for lymphangiomas include surgical excision and intralesional injection of sclerosing agents. Problems associated with surgical excision include the risk of scarring, damage to surrounding vital structure and the high risk of incomplete excision. The sclerosing agents previously used have numerous local and systemic side effects as their problems. We present a case of lymphangioma occured in tongue that was treated by surgical excision and sclerotherapy with OK-432.
