Zusammenfassung:Vascular malformations are vascular anomalies that can affect veins, lymphatic vessels, and/or arteries in isolated or mixed form. When they present in the mixed form with venous and lymphatic involvement, they are called venolymphatic or lymphatic-venous malformations, depending on their predominant component. Although these are benign disorders with good prognosis, they are locally invasive and may lead to deformity, while there is also a propensity for local recurrence. This article presents a case of venolymphatic malformation with unusual localization on the lateral border of the tongue, addressing the clinical conduct and the current theoretical framework.
