A case of gustatory sweating following excision of lymphoangioma in the submandibular region, was reported.<BR>A 45-year-old male had complained of right submandibular swelling. About 10 years ago, he was incised by a otolaryngolist, to relieve swelling in the same area.<BR>After clinical investigations, the lesion was diagnosed as a benign tumor of the submadibular gland. Under the general anesthsia, the lesion was removed with the submandibular gland. Histopathological examination revealed a picture of lymphoangioma.<BR>A benign, congenital proliferation of lymphatic tissue is termed lymphoangioma. This tumor usually is discovered in children. But, the case report of this tumor in an abult is rare.<BR>About 7 months after the operation, the gustatory sweating of the operation area with an approximate that of 2.5×1.5 cm had occurred. The case report of gustatory sweating following submandibular gland excision was unusal. Based on the phenomenon in this case, it was considered that submandibular gland secretory nerve fibers were misdirected to the sweat glands of the covering skin during healing after the surgery.
