CAVERNOUS LYMPHANGIOMA OF THE TONGUE IN AN ADULT: A CASE REPORT

Selin Eren, Ahmet Taylan Çebi, Metin Berk Kasapoğlu, Nihan Aksakalllı, Çetin Kasapoğlu

Lymphangioma is a benign hamartomatous lesion caused by congenital malformation of the lymphatic system. This benign tumor is detected most commonly at birth or in early childhood but rarely in adults. On clinical examination, most lymphangiomas contain clear lymph fluid, but some may present as transparent vesicles containing red blood cells due to hemorrhage. In addition, lymphangioma may occur in association with hemangioma. This tumor occurs most commonly in the head and neck area, but rarely in the oral cavity. The dorsum of the tongue is the most common location in the mouth, followed by the lips, buccal mucosa, soft palate, and floor of the mouth. There are various treatment approaches for lymphangioma, but surgical excision is the preferred method. We present a case of a 26-year-old man with lymphangioma on the anterior dorsal part of the tongue, not associated with any dysfunction in mastication or speech disorders.

Yetişkin Bir Bireyde Dilde Kavernöz Lenfanjiom: Bir Olgu Sunumu

Selin Eren, Ahmet Taylan Çebi, Metin Berk Kasapoğlu, Nihan Aksakalllı, Çetin Kasapoğlu

Hamartamatöz lezyon olarak da bilinen lenfanjiomlar, lenfatik sistemin konjenital malformasyonu sonucu ortaya çıkan iyi huylu tümörlerdir. Genellikle doğumda ve çocukluğun erken dönemlerinde fark edilmekle beraber, yetişkinlerde nadiren ortaya çıkarlar. Çoğunlukla içeriğinde temiz lenf sıvısı barındıran bu lezyonlar, bazen kanamadan dolayı kırmızı kan hücreleri ihtiva eden transparan vesiküller de içerebilir. En sık baş-boyun bölgesinde lokalize olurlar, nadiren de oral kavitede gözlemlenirler. Ağız içerisinde dil dorsumunu takiben en sık görüldüğü alanlar sırasıyla dudaklar, bukkal mukoza, yumuşak damak ve ağız tabanıdır. Lenfanjiomların tedavisine yönelik değişik tedavi yaklaşımları benimsenmiştir. Cerrahi eksizyon bunlardan en sık tercih edilen yöntemdir. Bu makalede 26 yaşında erkek hastada, dilin dorsal yüzeyinde bulunan ve çiğneme sisteminde herhangi bir disfonksiyon ile konuşma bozukluğu yaratmayan lenfanjiom olgusu sunulmuştur.
