冷冻手术治疗舌背广泛性淋巴管瘤:病例报告

Abstract

Lymphangiomas are benign malformations of the lymphatic system that most frequently occur in the head and neck. The dorsal surface of the tongue is the most commonly affected site in the oral cavity. Its management represents a therapeutic challenge due to the infiltrative nature and recurrence potential. Although surgical excision is the standard treatment, taking into account the associated risks, other less invasive options have been suggested, such as cryosurgery. We report the case of a 21-year-old woman with a dorsal tongue lymphangioma presenting since birth, treated with three sessions of cryosurgery, achieving significant volume reduction without compromising tongue functionality. Cryosurgery offers an effective and safe therapeutic alternative compared to other treatment options, with favorable functional and aesthetic outcomes.
