Lymphangioma of the Buccal Mucosa

چکیده
Lymphangiomas are uncommon congenital hamarto‐ mas of the lymphatic system, usually diagnosed in infancy and early childhood. Most lymphangiomas are present at birth (60%) and, by the age of 2 years, 80% to 90% are present. Tongue, palate, gingiva, lip, alveolar ridge and buccal mucosa are the most commonly affected sites in the oral cavity. Various methods have been tried for the treat‐ ment of lymphangioma, including surgery, radiation, laser therapy, sclerotherapy and radiofrequency ablation. This paper reports a case of lymphangioma in a 28 year‐old female patient.

متن کاملPalate Mucoperosteum: An Usefull Adjunct in Buccal Mucosa Reconstruction
Background: Palate is a complex structure separating oro- and nasopharynx. However, reconstruction of the defects of palate is much simpler because of the versatile mucoperiosteal flaps. Here, we present our experience of palatal mucoperiosteal flap used in different situations.

متن کاملMilroy's disease associated with scrotal lymphangioma circumscriptum.
INTRODUCTION Milroy’s Disease (MD) is characterized by peripheral edema of the lower extremities at birth or in early childhood which is due to complete aplasia of dermal lymphatics. Diagnosis of MD can be made easily by imaging the lymphatic channels with radionuclide lymphoscintigraphy or dynamic magnetic resonance lymphangiography. Lymphangioma circumscriptum (LC) is also a benign disorder o...
متن کاملGiant Cell Fibroma of the Buccal Mucosa with Laser Excision: Report of Unusual Case
Giant Cell Fibroma (GCF) was described as a new entity of fibrous hyperplastic soft tissue. It seems that stimulus from an unexplained origin can have a role in its etiology. Histopathologically GCF is consisted of multinucleated fibroblasts that have oval shape nuclei within the eosinophilic cytoplasm. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice and recurrence is very rare. Here we report a c...
