Abstract

The cystic lymphangioma is a rare tumor of the head and neck. A case of cystic lymphangioma in the right submandibular region of a 6-year-old boy is presented. The tumor, measuring about 8×4 cm, was clinically diagnosed as a plunging ranula on the first examination. The lesion was marsupialized by intraoral approach. Histopathologically, the excised specimen indicated cystic lymphangioma. The tumor was completely enuculeated by extraoral incision. After the operation, there was no evidence of recurrence.
