Abstract(s)
A 13 year-old adolescent was referred for an urgent evaluation
at our department because of a swelling, slow-growing, and
painless, sometimes bleeding lesion of the tongue.
He presented a vegetative lesion of the tongue with irregular
borders, multiple vesicles of variable size and staining, infiltrating
the adjacent tissues and that seemed to extend into the tongue.
Surgical excision was performed, and histological examination
confirmed a cavernous lymphangioma.
