There are three distinct types of lymphangioma, each with their own symptoms.

This is the most common form of lymphangioma.

Cases of lymphangioma are diagnosed by histopathologic inspection.

In 1828, Redenbacher first described a lymphangioma lesion.

Lymphangioma circumscriptum can be found on the skin's surface, and the other two types of lymphangiomas occur deeper under the skin.

The appearance is similar to that of lymphangioma and this is a name that has been used for this tumour.

Cystic hygroma can be associated with a nuchal lymphangioma or a fetal hydrops.

Rarely, impingement upon critical organs may result in complications, such as respiratory distress when a lymphangioma compresses the airway.

He suggested that the vesicles seen in lymphangioma circumscriptum are outpouchings of these dilated projecting vessels.

Radiotherapy and chemical cauteries are not as effective with the lymphangioma than they are with the hemangioma.

In Estonia tamoxifen costs less than $2 for 30 tablets of 20 mg when used for treatment of a neoplasm or lymphangioma.

Enlargement due to lymphangioma gives the tongue a pebbly appearance with multiple superficial dilated lymphatic channels.

Cavernous lymphangioma first appears during infancy, when a rubbery nodule with no skin changes becomes obvious in the face, trunk, or extremity.

Surgical removal of the tumor is the typical treatment provided, with the understanding that additional removal procedures will most likely be required as the lymphangioma grows.

In prenatal cases, cystic lymphangioma is diagnosed using an ultrasound; when confirmed amniocentesis may be recommended to check for associated genetic disorders.

Lymphangioma circumscriptum, a microcystic lymphatic malformation, resembles clusters of small blisters ranging in color from pink to dark red.

The prognosis for lymphangioma circumscriptum and cavernous lymphangioma is generally excellent.

Lymphangioma: cystic, mesenteric, retroperitoneal, abdominal, vertebral, etc.

Lymphangiosarcoma is a malignant soft tissue tumor, whereas lymphangioma is a benign tumor occurring frequently in association with Turner syndrome.

Microscopically, the vesicles in lymphangioma circumscriptum are greatly dilated lymph channels that cause the papillary dermis to expand.

Two cases of lymphangiosarcoma arising from lymphangioma circumscriptum have been reported; however, in both of the patients, the preexisting lesion was exposed to extensive radiation therapy.

The skin lesions of Cobb syndrome typically are present as port wine stains or angiomas, but reports exist of angiokeratomas, angiolipomas, and lymphangioma circumscriptum.

Cystic lymphangioma that emerges during the first two trimesters of pregnancy is associated with genetic disorders such as Noonan syndrome and trisomies 13, 18, and 21.

The direct cause of lymphangioma is a blockage of the lymphatic system as a fetus develops, although symptoms may not become visible until after the baby is born.

Lymphangioma circumscription can be healed when treated with a flashlamp pulsed dye laser, although this can cause port-wine stains and other vascular lesions.
