Abstract:
Lymphangiomas and cystic hygromas are congenital malformatiors of the lymphatic system. They are composed of lymph-containing endothelium-lined spaces which very in size from channels of capillary dimensions to cysts several centimeters in diameter. Both types of lesions are rarely present, in the same patients. We report herein a case of lymphangioma circumscriptum with cystic hygroma on the tongue and the right side of the neck in a 5 year-old boy. The patient had a grop of deep-seated, small, crystal-line vesicles resembling frogs spawn that contained a viscous liquid with hemorrhage in the tongue and a mobile non-tender cystic swelling in the right side of the neck.
