A Rare Case of Submandibular Lymphangioma in an Adult

Lymphatic malformations are uncommon in adults. They are common in the head and neck region because of the abundance of lymphatics. In this report, we have a male patient, 54 years old, who presented with a painless swelling in the submandibular area. He was clinically diagnosed with a submandibular gland mass. Ultrasonography showed a multiloculated cyst arising from the submandibular gland. Complete surgical resection of the cyst was performed along with the submandibular gland. A histopathological study of the specimen confirmed the diagnosis of Lymphatic malformation.
