Neonatal Alveolar Lymphangioma in Neonate: A Rare Case Report
Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Background: Lymphangiomas are generally regarded as hamartomas, which are developmental malformations of lymphatic vessels. Neonatal alveolar lymphangioma (NAL) is a rare benign condition most often reported in the oral cavity of neonates. Case description: The present case report describes NAL in a 2-day-old Indian neonate and follow-up until complete resolution. Conclusion: A unique type of lymphatic malformation is NAL. Accurate clinical recognition of NAL is essential because biopsy is not typically indicated for diagnosis. Because this is a clinical diagnosis, we recommend follow-up until the complete resolution of the lesion. In the case of residual or recurrent lesions, a biopsy would be clinically indicated.
