ABSTRACT

Lymphangiomas are benign neoplasms that appear preferentially in childhood, are very uncommon, and have their origin in the lymphatic system. When they occur in the oral cavity, the most frequent location is the back of the tongue, followed by lips, buccal mucosa, soft palate and floor of the mouth. Prevalence is 1–3/10,000 live births, equally affecting both genders, with 75% involving the head and neck region followed by trunk, abdomen, and extremities. In this publication we present the case of a female patient less than 24 hours of life that remained in the Service of Neonatology Service of H.I.G.A Pte. Perón. According to the clinical evaluation of the Dentistry Service it was decided to perform the excisional biopsy of the pathology. The aim of the treatment was to remove of the exophytic tissue, with safety margin due to the small size and pediculated base. This material was sent to the Chair of Pathological Anatomy of the Odontology Faculty of the University de Buenos Aires and his histopathological, morphological and immunohistochemical diagnosis proved the compatibility of lymphangioma. At the 18 months post-operative follow-up, the patient did not show obvious signs of relapse or othe complications associated with the diagnosed pathology.
