We report an unusual case of a large vascular lesion of the floor of the mouth of rapid onset in a 50-year-old man who presented with an external swelling in the submental region and a history of fluctuating swelling of the tongue. The clinical features, investigations, treatment and course of this rare condition are discussed.
