Cervico facial cystic hygroma and tongue lymphagioma is
rare representative of spectrum of lymphatic malformations.
Conservative management with sclerosants alone has
proven to be successful. However, sudden enlargement of
these cervico facial lymphangiomas leads to catastrophic
airway obstruction leading to debility in feeding and speech.
Therefore, surgery is indicated in such case to prevent such
a catastrophic problem. We report here the case of a 3-yearold boy with cervico facial hygroma involving the tongue.
We successfully treated him with a combination of surgery
and OK432 injection.
