Abstract |
Lymphangioma circumscriptum is an uncommon congenital skin disorder occurring commonly in limbs and genitals, and is extremely rare in tongue. Although complete surgical excision is the most widely used treatment, more conservative procedures such as sclerotherapy are being increasingly used for treatment of lymphangiomas. We present a series of two cases of lymphangioma circumscriptum of tongue which were treated successfully with intralesional bleomycin injection.
