Abstract

A case of Lymphangiomatosis of the skeleton and soft tissue in a 23 years old woman is presented. Lymphangiomatosis are benign tumors formed of lymphatic vessel and like hemangiomatosis are probably best thought of as harmatomatous malformation. As term imply, the endothelial space in these lesions are lymph-rather than blood containing. Bone involvement are very rare condition that affect mainly the ilium and features a largely lytic pattern, consisting of tiny elliptical radiolucents slots. Treatment and Prognosis depend on the site and extent of involvement and progression. Although irradiation may be the treatment of choice, the lesions have not been usually successfully treated.
