They cause both aesthetic anomalies and obstructive symptoms. Early recognition and surgical excision of these tumors is essential. In recent years, sclerosing therapy with OK-432 has become the preferred treatment. This case presents a very unusual presentation of a lymphangioma neck presenting as a secondary lesion on the tongue post sclerotherapy. date: 2012-04-15 date_type: published publication: Online Journal of Health and Allied Sciences volume: 11 number: 1(18) publisher: BS Kakkilaya refereed: TRUE referencetext: 1.
