“…According to Naidu and McCalla, over the period 1828-2004, only 91 cases of LMs in adults had been reported [6]. In addition, LMs occur most commonly in the neck [7]. The presented case comprises three extraordinary features.…”

“…Third, the lesion had grown very fast, actually within 4 days. Furthermore, the patient had negative history for trauma MRI is the imaging modality of choice for the investigation of a possible LM [5,7,8]. The principal advantages of MRI are the better delineation of the anatomical extent of the lesion and its relationship to the adjacent tissues.…”

“…LMs are benign lesions, however they rarely resolve spontaneously and they often attain significant size, effecting esthetic deformity and functional disorders and occasionally compromising vital structures of the head and neck [3,7,8]. Small and asymptomatic lesions may initially be left untreated, provided that close follow up be ensured [4,7,8].…”

Lymphatic malformations-previously called lymphangiomas or cystic hygromas-are regarded as nonmalignant primary disorders of the lymphatic system. They appear predominantly in infants and children, with 90 % of cases being diagnosed by the age of 2 years. Also, they constitute an infrequent entity, accounting for 5 % of all benign tumors in infants and children. In adults they are extremely rare. In the present article we present an extraordinary case of a lymphatic malformation that ensued in the temporal area of a 15-year old adolescent.

Radiofrequency ablation is an effective treatment for localized, superficial microcystic LM in the oral cavity. Pediatric patients tolerate the treatment with rapid postoperative recovery and minimal complications. The majority of patients required a short hospital stay for observation of the airway. Virtually every patient resumed oral diet by the time of discharge. Radiofrequency ablation is the treatment of choice at Children's Hospital Boston (CHB) for patients who present with symptomatic, superficial, and localized intraoral microcystic LM. For lesions involving deeper structures, multimodal treatments including surgical and sclerotherapy may be necessary.
