Lymphangioma circumscriptum of the tongue: A case with marked hemorrhagic component

Lymphangioma circumscriptum (LC) is considered a superficial variant of lymphangioma with characteristic small lymphatic channels. Diagnosis is routinely made through histopathology in addition to immunostaining. An unusual case of LC presenting as a painless overgrowth of the tongue in a middle‐aged male is reported, with emphasis on the clinical and histopathological differential diagnosis.
