Abstract :
A ten-year-old girl was admitted to the emergency clinic with recurrent oral bleeding. Physical examination showed facial he- mihypertrophy and a microcystic lymphatic malformation of the tongue as the source of bleeding (Figure 1a). There were also cutaneous hemangiomas localized in the lumbosacral and glute- al region. In neurologic assessment, mild mental retardation was detected. Laboratory results were consistent with mildly increased liver enzymes and hyperammonemia.
