title: Spontaneous regression of a yellow sublingual swelling: a case report.
abstract: A case of a yellow sublingual swelling in a 5-year-old child is reported. The lesion, noticed shortly after birth, disappeared spontaneously before definitive treatment could be carried out. It is presumed that the lesion was either a lipoma or a lymphoepithelial cyst, and that its subsequent disappearance was due to minor trauma.
