description Lymphangiomas are congenital malformations. Swellings in the cheek may arise from infection, cyst and tumors.Pathological lesions are not always confined to its common site and age of occurrence. Occurrence of lymphangioma in buccal mucosa especially in adults are very rare. Exact knowledge about anatomy and nature of lesion is mandatory for its complete removal as incomplete removal results in recurrence. Herewith,a rare case of recurrent lymphangioma involving left buccal mucosa in an adult is presented with its management. Emphasis is laid on the necessity of combined approach through multidisciplinary team while treating such lesions.
