Overview
Most of the patients with lymphangioma will develop a cervico-facial mass that often grows in proportion to the patient’s body growth rate. The mass usually recurs after surgical interventions. Common complications of lymphangioma include esophageal obstruction, upper respiratory tract obstruction, infections, and compression of adjacent tissues such as nerves and blood vessels. Prognosis of lymphangioma is generally excellent.[1][2][3][4]
