Does A Lump On My Daughter S Cheek Need Surgery?
Lymphangioma on cheek. My daughter is 4 yrs old has a small lump (like their is a candy) on the cheek. Doctors said it is (might be) lymphangioma and was advised to do a EMT or MRI. If a surgery would take place, could be dangerous for my daughter? Would it permanently remove the lump .

Hi...with modern medicine so advanced, the lymphangioma removal is a very simple procedure. Please do not worry. Sometimes the removed mass may be sent for histopathological examination and then the final result will be known to us. But as such the surgery is a simple procedure...so do not worry.
