What Causes Swollen Lips At Birth Along With Build Up Of Body Fluids?
I m trying to find the name of a condition reportedly pronounced as le-han-jo-mia . The condition was diagnosed in a young child whose symptoms started as a swollen lip at birth. The condition involves build up of body fluids, quick swelling with mild trauma to facial tissue and vulnerability to recurring infections. Laser surgery has been used to treat the facial tissue.

Hello,
I think the term you are looking for is Lymphangioma, which may present as swelling of lips, tongue and facial tissues. These are non-cancerous benign growths that are treated with laser only for cosmetic reasons.
I hope this answer solves your query. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. Take care.
Best,
