Abstract
- Lymphangioma is a rare harmatoma which is hisotopathologically characterized by lymphatic vessel dilatation but with normal endothelial cell lining and clear fluid. Most lesions develop in infancy and are classified into variable categories. We present a case of lymphangioma circumscriptum that developed after two carvenous hemangioma operations. A 19 year old male was operated on twice at 1 and 3 years of age due to a carvenous hemangioma on his abdominal wall. At 19 years old, he presented with grouped, dark-brown vesicles resembling frogspawn. Histopathologically, there were typical features of lymphangioma.
