“…All of these cases were principally treated with surface KTP laser therapy to control symptoms. The use of laser therapy in the management of these lesions has been previously documented [29]. Laser treatment offers the following advantages over surgery: less postoperative oedema, less tissue trauma and less blood loss [3].…”

“…There is a controversy on the best definition of lymphangioma, a condition that was first described by Redenbacher in 1828 (1). Some authors consider it as a congenital malformation of the lymphatic system, others as a hamartoma, and others as a vascular benign tumor (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7). It is a rare lesion and is mainly located at the dorsal surface and lateral border of the tongue.…”

This paper reports the treatment of oral lymphangiomas with carbon dioxide CO₂ Laser. Lymphangiomas are rare congenital lymphatic malformations. These lesions are most frequently diagnosed during childhood, are most commonly located in the head and neck region, and are extremely rare in the oral cavity. Oral lymphangiomas are of complex treatment due to the difficulty in performing a complete excision. CO₂ laser is the most often used laser in the oral cavity due to its affinity with water and high absorption by the oral mucosa. Several benefits of the use of CO₂ laser have been reported for surgical oral procedures. The cases reported herein were biopsy-proven lymphangiomas of the oral cavity. The surgical procedures were carried out under local anesthesia and a focused CO₂ laser beam (λ10.600 nm, Φ ~2 mm, CW/RSP) was used. At the end of the surgery, the laser beam was used on a defocused mode to promote better hemostasis. Neither sutures nor dressings were used after surgery. No medication and only mouthwashes were prescribed to all patients on the postoperative period. There were no postsurgical complaints from the patients and no relapses of the conditions were observed after follow-up periods of 12 and 18 months. The use of CO₂ laser was practical, easy to carry out and effective on the treatment of oral lymphangiomas, with no lesion recurrence.

“…Macrocystic lesions are localized and can be excised easily, while microcystic lesions are diffuse and are difficult to remove into Completely excised mass with two cms of safe margin, involving complete depth removed from the adjacent unaffected mucosa. No after-surgery complications like wound dehiscence and scarring were noticed figure [6]. Regular follow up at definite time intervals are being done for assessing the recurrence.…”

Treatment of Lymphangioma with Nd:YAG Laser Irradiation: A Case Report

Abstract: It can be concluded that if Nd:YAG laser therapy is used for reducing the tumor size as a primary treatment, the operation becomes easy and the recurrence may be less than with the conventional treatment, and an option of a surgical or laser excision could be reserved.
