Abstract
A lymphangioma is a benign lesion characterized by proliferation of lymphatic vessels. Occurrence in the oral cavity and oropharynx is rare and is extremely rare in the palatine tonsil. Recently, we experienced a case of lymphagioma on palatine tonsil, so we report this rare case with the review of literatures.
