Abstract

Lymphangioma is relatively rare in the oral cavity. Diffuse lymphangioma of the tongue causes macroglossia.
We treated a 1-year-old girl with a diagnosis of tongue lymphangioma. Local injections of bleomycin were performed three times without effect. So partial glossectomy by Egyedi and Obwegeser's method was performed to reduce the size of the tongue.
