Abstract

Vascular neoplasms arise from either lymphatic or blood vessels. Lymphangiomas are rare and usually arise from extension of cystic hygroma of the neck into the larynx (see Chapter 45). In a series of 160 cystic hygromas, ten (6%) extended into the larynx.1 Lymphangioma confined to the larynx is very rare. Reported cases have presented in young children as respiratory obstruction, necessitating laser removal of the swelling from the laryngeal lumen.2
