Abstract

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.

Özet

Lenfanjiomlar, lenfa damarlarından oluşmuş vasküler alanlar ve kanallardan oluşan benign konjenital malformasyonlardir. Baş boyunda sık görülmelerine rağmen supraorbital yerleşim nadirdir. Tedavi seçeneklerinden cerrahi, en çok tercih edilen yöntemdir. Cerrahi, en az morbidite ile hastanın beklentisine uygun sonuçlar oluşturmalıdır. Sol kaş üzerindeki yumuşak kitle yalanması ile başvuran onüç yaşındaki kız çocuğuna, kozmetik beklentisi doğrultusunda, bikoronal insizyoııla yaklaşılarak kitle eksizyonu uygulanmıştır. Spesmenin histopatolojik incelemesi sonucu lenfanjiom' olarak rapor edilmiştir. Hasta açısından oluşan kozmetik sonuç tatmin edici olarak nitelendirilmiştir.
