Supraorbital lymphangioma: A case report

Lymphangiomas are congenital malformations of the lymphatic system, made up of newly formed lymph-containing vascular spaces and channels. Although they are frequently seen in the head and neck region, stipraorbital location is rare. Surgery which is the most preferred therapeutic modality, should result in low morbidity and cover the patient's expectations. A thirteen years old girl presented with a mass which was located at the left supraorbital region since childhood. In order to fulfill the patient's cosmetic expectations, the lesion excised via bicoronal incision. The histopathologic examination of the specimen was reported as lymphangioma. The final outcome was found to be satisfactory in respect of die patient's evaluation.
