[Problems of lymphangioma of the parotid gland and adjacent tissues].

Two cases of caverno-cystic lymphangioma of parotid gland in children were described. The tumor removal required the discovery of extratemporal part of the facial nerve. In spite of the microsurgery technique the preservation of the thin nerve branch of the 5 months old child was impossible. The reconstruction of the nerve gave only the reinnervation++ of the upper lip. The myoplasty of the orbicular eye muscle by means of a part of the temporal nerve was performed and the rehabilitation procedure was successful. The great dynamic of lymphangioma speaks for an immediate surgery.
