Lymphangioma circumscriptum A rare form Of lymphangiomas

ABSTRACT

Superficial lymphangiomas are either cavernous type, diffuse or circumscribed [circumscriptum]. Lymphangima circumscriptum [LC] is a rare benign condition characterized by the appearance of persistent clusters in the skin and subcutaneous tissue which may contain fluctuant cysts[1]. The first reported description of LC was done by Fox and Fox[2] in1878. They named it as lymphangiectodes[2]. The term LC is first used by Morris[3]in1889. Complete surgical excision is the main treatment. Here we are reporting a case of lymphangioma circumscritum of the thigh in a six-year old girl
