“…La obstrucción de algunos canales del drenaje linfático o la agénesis del tejido linfático resultará en una linfangiectasia secundaria a la falta de comunicación normal entre los vasos linfáticos, los que terminan en fondos de saco y se dilatan lentamente hasta formar un quiste. 6,8 Histológicamente, el linfangioma quístico puede considerarse un hamartoma, es decir, una estructura anómala de células normales localizadas en su lugar anatómico habitual. 9 El linfangioma es un tumor benigno pero tiene un comportamiento infiltrativo y no respeta fascias, puede ser única o múltiple, de tamaño variable, consistencia blanda, indolora, mal delimitada, fluctuante, lobulada, multitabicada, translúcida, no adherida a tejidos profundos y la cubre una piel delgada.…”

El linfangioma quístico es un tumor benigno infrecuente del sistema linfático que afecta habitualmente a los infantes, resulta de una malformación vascular congénita o adquirida de los vasos linfáticos, que impide el correcto drenaje de la linfa hacia el sistema venoso con la posterior proliferación y dilatación de estos.1 No constituye una entidad prevalente ya que su incidencia es de un 1 caso por cada 50 000 nacimientos, con frecuencia similar en niños y niñas, sin diferencias raciales. El 90 % se diagnostica en los dos primeros años de vida y representa el 6 % de los tumores en la infancia.1,2 La localización del linfangioma quístico en mediastino es muy raro y su frecuencia, es de 0.7-4.5% de todos los tumoresmediastinales,porellolarelevanciadel caso presentado en este reporte.

Lymphangiomas are benign malformations that represent hamartoma of malformed lymphatics and are composed of cystically dilated lymphatic channels which do not communicate or drain into other lymphatic channels or veins leading to accumulation of lymph. They are congenital malformations with rare occurrence in oral cavity within which tongue dorsum is the most affected site. Venous malformations are often difficult to differentiate from lymphatic malformations leading to the development of several lymphatic markers like D2-40 which seems to be useful for distinguishing vascular from lymphatic vessels. The most effective treatment is surgery having good prognosis for most of the patients but depending on their location (neck/tongue) and size (large size) they may cause airway obstruction causing death. Herewith, we present the rare cases of oral lymphangiomas of tongue, palate and buccal mucosa with varied and characteristic clinical presentations.

Key Clinical MessageLymphatic malformation is a rare disorder caused by expansion and proliferation of the lymphatic vessels. About 50% of lymphatic malformations are present at birth, and 90% are diagnosed before the age of 2 years. The most common site of lymphatic malformation in the oral cavity is the anterior two‐thirds of the tongue, and involvement of the buccal mucosa is relatively unusual. Treatment of lymphatic malformation includes surgical excision, sclerotherapy, laser therapy, radiofrequency ablation, or a combination of these interventions. In many cases, surgery or sclerotherapy is the treatment of choice. However, there is currently no consensus on an optimal treatment approach. Here, we report an unusual case of lymphatic malformation in the buccal mucosa of an older adult that was surgically excised.
