    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Head and Neck Oncology
    • Developmental Biology

    Background:

    • Lymphangioma is a congenital malformation of lymphatic vessels.
    • This review covers embryology, classification, clinical presentation, and treatment of lymphangioma.
    • Differential diagnosis for pediatric head and neck masses must include lymphangioma.

    Observation:

    • Eight pediatric cases of lymphangioma are presented.
    • Cases included skin, submandibular, facial, floor of mouth, tongue, and neck lymphangiomas.
    • Facial lymphangioma and cystic hygroma of the floor of mouth occurred in one patient.

    Findings:

    • The spontaneous involution rate of lymphangioma may be higher than previously recognized.
    • Specific indications for surgical intervention are proposed.
    • Lymphangioma requires consideration in the differential diagnosis of pediatric head and neck masses.

    Implications:

    • Improved understanding of lymphangioma natural history can guide management decisions.
    • Timely diagnosis and intervention can optimize outcomes for affected children.
    • This review provides a comprehensive overview for clinicians managing pediatric head and neck lymphatic malformations.
