title: Bilateral symmetrical lymphangiomas of the gingiva.
abstract: A case of bilateral superficial lymphangiomas occurring in the maxillary and mandibular gingivae of a young female patient is reported. The distribution and location of the lesions indicate that they are developmental anomalies, probably arising from residua of neonatal lymphangiomas. A review of the literature revealed only one previously reported case.
