“…Their most severe complication is unpredictable and extensive scaring, due to penetration into adjacent tissues. Other conservative modalities, including laser ablation, radiofrequency ablation and cryotherapy have also been introduced, with ambiguous results though [4]. Regarding our case, the lesion demonstrated potential of rapid enlargement and caused esthetic disfigurement to the patient.…”

“…They are regarded as a non-malignant primary disorder of the lymphatic system, however the exact mechanism of their pathogenesis has not been adequately elucidated yet [2]. LMs appear predominantly in infants and children, with 90 % of cases being diagnosed by the age of 2 years [3,4]. Also, they constitute an infrequent entity, accounting for 5 % of all benign tumors in infants and children [3,5].…”

Lymphatic malformations-previously called lymphangiomas or cystic hygromas-are regarded as nonmalignant primary disorders of the lymphatic system. They appear predominantly in infants and children, with 90 % of cases being diagnosed by the age of 2 years. Also, they constitute an infrequent entity, accounting for 5 % of all benign tumors in infants and children. In adults they are extremely rare. In the present article we present an extraordinary case of a lymphatic malformation that ensued in the temporal area of a 15-year old adolescent.

“…The age group with the highest prevalence is between birth to two years old, being slightly more common in males [7]. In the oral cavity the most common site of involvement is the anterior two thirds of the tongue, followed by the labial mucosa [1].…”

“…90% of the cases are found up to 2 years old, being rare in adults [4][5][6]. They are usually floating soft lesion, and a secondary bleeding into the interior of the lymph spaces may result in a purplish color of these vesicles [7][8][9][10]. These lesions could be associated with hemangiomas revealing their hamartomatous condition [3,10].…”

Lymphangioma is a benign congenital malformation of the lymphatic tissue that occurs predominantly in children and clinically presents as a soft painless swelling, compressible of oral mucosa. Usually affects male individuals and the most common intraoral location is the tongue. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice and the prognosis is good. It is describes a case of lymphangioma in a non-caucasian 82 years old female. Intra-oral examination revealed the presence of reddish papules, with 0.5 cm in diameter, painless, flaccid consistency and smooth surface in the anterior hard palate. Excisional biopsy was performed and the histopathologic diagnosis was lymphangioma. After seven months follow-up, the patient has no recurrence of the lesion.

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.
