[|Human|] Hi, my son was born with s lymphangioma in his next. ..right under his left ear. Up until a few months ago you could hardly notice it! He recently turned 3 and in the last few months it has grown quite large ( about the size of a small orange) Since it has gotten bigger he has been sick with colds and throat infections constantly. I want to know, is there a connection?
[|AI|]  Hi....usually lymphangiomas are associated with recurrent infections but only locally due to pressure effect or impeded blood flow. A lymphangioma under the left ear (could also be a cystic aroma) cannot be the cause for recurrent infections in the throat and upper respiratory tract. You need not correlate both. But as such the lymphangioma may need surgical excision and histopathological examination. Regards -
