Treatment of a Large Lymphangioma with the Nd:YAG Laser – A Case Study
A 16-year old female patient was referred to our department with a large lymphangioma of the tongue dorsum, which caused functional and aesthetic complaints.
We decided to treat with the Fotona Nd:YAG laser because the procedure is fast and minimally invasive with good long-term results. Alternative therapies include chemical sclerotherapy which requires radiological control, excision which is time-consuming, cryotherapy which is hard to control and electro-cauterization that poses a significant risk of excessive bleeding and procedural complications if the lesion in penetrated into.
