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.

Lymphangiomatosis is a condition where a lymphangioma is not present in a single localised mass, but in a widespread or multifocal manner. It is a rare type of tumor which results from an abnormal development of the lymphatic system.
Lymphatic malformations are rare, accounting for 4% of all vascular tumors in children. [7] Although lymphangioma can become evident at any age, 50% are seen at birth, [12] and 90% of lymphangiomas are evident by 2 years of age. [12]
Multifocal multisystem LCH, also called Letterer-Siwe disease, is an often rapidly progressing disease in which Langerhans cells proliferate in many tissues. It is mostly seen in children under age 2, and the prognosis is poor: even with aggressive chemotherapy, the five-year survival is only 50%. [12]
Multiple distinct red globules are seen under a microscope, and a finely pigmented network is seen around the periphery. [8] Histologically, microvenular hemangioma is made up of venules with thin walls that branch erratically and have barely noticeable vascular lumina.
Proliferating Angioendotheliomatosis has historically been divided into two groups, (1) a reactive, involuting type and (2) a malignant, rapidly fatal type. [1]: 598 ...
