[1] It is thought to be the result of congenital errors of lymphatic development occurring prior to the 20th week of gestation. [2] Lymphangiomatosis is a condition marked by the presence of cysts that result from an increase both in the size and number of thin-walled lymphatic channels that are abnormally interconnected and dilated.
The prognosis for lymphangioma circumscriptum and cavernous lymphangioma is generally excellent. This condition is associated with minor bleeding, recurrent cellulitis , and lymph fluid leakage. Two cases of lymphangiosarcoma arising from lymphangioma circumscriptum have been reported; however, in both of the patients, the preexisting lesion ...
Gorham's disease (pronounced GOR-amz), also known as Gorham vanishing bone disease and phantom bone disease, [1] is a very rare skeletal condition of unknown cause.It is characterized by the uncontrolled proliferation of distended, thin-walled vascular or lymphatic channels within bone, which leads to resorption and replacement of bone with angiomas and/or fibrosis.
Superficial lymphatic malformation is a congenital vascular anomaly of the superficial lymphatics, presenting as groups of deep-seated, vesicle-like papules resembling frog spawn, at birth or shortly thereafter. [1] Lymphangioma circumscriptum is the most common congenital lymphatic malformation.

Lymphohemangioma is a disease characterized by swelling of the lymph nodes and blood vessels.It is variously described as a "mixture of clear fluid and blood-filled cysts", [citation needed] a mass of abnormal swollen veins and lymph nodes, or a tumorous growth of lymph and blood vessels.
In a cohort of patients in the United Kingdom, 10 years after symptom onset, 55% of 77 patients were breathless walking on flat ground and 10% were housebound. [127] The average annual rate of decline in FEV1 and DLCO in 275 patients studied in a single pulmonary function laboratory at the NHLBI was 75 ± 9 mL, and 0.69 ± 0.07 mL/min/mm Hg ...
Multifocal lymphangioendotheliomatosis, also known as congenital cutaneovisceral angiomatosis with thrombocytopenia and multifocal lymphangioendotheliomatosis with thrombocytopenia (MLT), [1] is a skin condition that presents at birth with hundreds of red-brown plaques as large as several centimeters.
