Publication date: Available online 17 June 2016 Source:Egyptian Journal of Ear, Nose, Throat and Allied Sciences Author(s): Ling Xiu Ngui, Shashi Gopalan, Chiun Kian Chai Spontaneous regression of lymphangioma is a rare entity. This case report describes a case of huge lymphangioma over the left submandibular region for a twelve-year-old boy, which had clinically regressed completely two months after recovery from an episode of infection with no clinical recurrence two years upon follow-up. Antibiotic treatment and needle aspiration for pressure relief was done during acute infection. In view of possibility of spontaneous regression, expectant management can be considered for cases of asymptomatic lymphangioma.
