Due to increased lymph in the head and neck region, nearly 70% of lesions occur in these locations. They can manifest in the cheeks, tongue, around the alveolar ridge of the mandible and parotid gland. Lymphangioma of tongue can be a difficult entity for diagnosis as it is less frequently encountered. So, it is crucial for dental physicians to know about this condition for precise diagnosis and early treatment.&#13;
Case Report: A 16-year-old female reported with multiple swellings and enlarged tongue with difficulty in speech. The swellings were painless with no evidence of bleeding. There was no associated symptoms of fever or lymphadenopathy. Her medical history was non-contributory.&#13;
Discussion: In this case report, the clinical presentation and management of oral lymphangioma is briefly described&#13;
Conclusion: As oral diagnosticians, we should be aware of the conditions associated with oral vascular malformations to correlate with underlying systemic diseases providing holistic and multi-speciality management strategies.&#13;
