Abstract
|
|
|
Lymphangiomas and cystic hygromas are congenital malformations of the lymphatic system. They are composed of lymph-containing endothelium-lined spaces which vary 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 group of deep-seated, small, crystalline 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. (Kor J Dermatol 1993 ; 31(3) : 430-433)
