Lymphangioma of the External Auditory Canal

Adult False Vocal Cord Cavernous Lymphangioma Presenting with Hemoptysis: A Case Report

Lymphangiomas are rare benign tumors of the lymphatic system, most often found at birth and before the age of 2 years. The head and neck region are the most frequent locations for lymphangioma. Involvement of the adult larynx in isolation is rare, and only a few cases have been reported so far. We report the case of a patient with a left false vocal cord reddish tumor presenting with hemoptysis and voice cracking. The surgical excision of mass was performed by direct laryngoscopy-assisted CO2 laser. The histopathological report revealed the diagnosis as cavernous lymphangioma. After a follow-up of 1 year, the patient is free of recurrence with all laryngeal functions being normal.

A Rare Combination of Acquired Lymphangioma of the External Auditory Canal and Cholesteatoma in the Middle Ear Cavity

Lymphangioma (LM) is a rare but benign tumor derived from lymphatic malformation, which is extremely rare in the auditory canal or middle ear cavity. We presented a case of acquired lymphangioma of the external auditory canal combined with cholesteatoma in the middle ear cavity. To our best knowledge, this is the first case of combined lesions of lymphangioma and cholesteatoma in English literature.
