This study presents a case of a five-year-old child with a simple lymphangioma, a benign vascular malformation. Surgical excision was successful, with no recurrence observed after 18 months of follow-up.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Vascular Malformations
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Lymphangioma is a rare, congenital benign tumor characterized by vascular malformation.
  • These tumors have a high potential for recurrence and are commonly diagnosed in early childhood.
  • Simple lymphangiomas are well-delimited lesions amenable to surgical treatment.

Observation:

  • A five-year-old patient presented with a simple lymphangioma on the palate.
  • The lesion was noted by the mother following a minor injury to the area.
  • The tumor was small and well-demarcated, indicating suitability for surgical intervention.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision was performed as the recommended treatment for the pediatric patient.
  • Post-operative clinical follow-up was conducted for a period of 18 months.

  • No signs of recurrence were observed, and the palatal mucosa remained normal.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the efficacy of surgical excision for small, well-delimited simple lymphangiomas in children.
    • Early diagnosis and prompt surgical management can lead to favorable outcomes and prevent recurrence.
    • Further research into pediatric vascular malformations and their long-term management is warranted.
