Résumé
Lymphangiomas, or lymphatic malformations (LM), are benign malformations of the lymphatic system characterized by abnormal proliferation of lymphatic vessels. It was first described by Virchow in 1854. They occur rarely in the oral cavity and involve the tongue dorsum more often. Though complete surgical excision is the gold standard and most desirable management, certain limitations restrict this approach. Laser therapy, cryotherapy, electrocautery, sclerotherapy, and intralesional injections of steroids and Bevacizumab are other treatment options in such cases. Here, we present three cases of diverse forms of lymphatic malformations treated with two different modalities of treatment.
