Abstract
A baby girl was born with inspiratory stridor and difficulty of breathing. The diagnosis of laryngeal lymphangioma mainly in the epiglottis, bilateral neck and the base of the tongue was made. She has been treated repeatedly by CO2 laser, tracheotomy and partial removal of the lymphangioma. She has survived 12 years and has grown well with proper nutritional support. At present, however, she is under observation because the lymphangioma is slowly growing and laryngoplasty is planned for the future.
