Zusammenfassung:Lymphangioma are rare, benign, and hamartomatous tumors of the lymphatic vessels, that show a marked predilection for the head and neck region. Very few cases of Cavernous lymphangioma have been reported to occur in the lower lip.

Postoperative wound healing was satisfactory and there was no recurrence found till the last follow up.
