Özet
Lymphangiomas are rare congenital tumors of the lymphatic system. They are most often seen in childhood and frequently are located in the head and neck region. Nasopharynx involvement of an isolated lymphangioma is extremely rare, with very few cases reported in the literature. Together with the relevant information in the literature, we present here a case of a 40-year-old female who presented at our polyclinic with complaints of snoring and obstruction in the right ear and was diagnosed with isolated nasopharyngeal lymphangioma.
