title: Lymphangioma of the tongue and the team approach.
abstract: Case report of a 9-year-old female with a 7cm (length) x 4cm (width) x 1cm (thick) lymphangioma of the tongue. The tumor caused speech distortion, crowding of the anterior maxillary and mandibular teeth, and a prognathic mandible. The patient was evaluated by the members of the Cleft Lip and Palate Team at St. Christopher's Hospital and underwent a complete resection of the tumor and is continuing follow-up care. This case exemplifies the value in a team approach to a variety of intraoral problems.
