Lymphangiomas are rare benign, hamartomatous, congenital malformations of the lymphatic system involving the skin and subcutaneous tissues of head, neck and oral cavity. Occasional adult onset cases occur, this condition is thought to be a developmental malformation of lymph vessels which have poor communication with normal lymph system. Most of these malformations are present at birth or appear within two years of life. 75 % of cases occur in head and neck area, submandibular and parotid being the most affected parts. Lymphangioma arising in nasopharynx and in an adult has not been reported in english literature. This prompted us to report the very first case of Lymphangioma Nasopharynx.
