ABSTRACT

Lymphangiomas are benign lesions originating from the lymphatic tissue. Several researchers study their neoplastic nature since they are hamartomatous proliferations of the lymphatic vessels and associated tissue, thus representing a developmental abnormality or congenital malformation that usually occurs during the first years of life. The case of an 18 year-old boy with a giant lymphangioma of the face and neck is presented. The patient had edentulous lower jaws and spots caused by enamel hypoplasia in the upper front teeth and his main concern was to solve the aesthetic problem. Veneers with light-curing resin were applied to the affected teeth and a total lower prosthesis was fabricated, which was an effective therapy to address the aesthetic and functional problems of this patient.
