RESUMO
Pathologic fractures commonly occur secondary to abnormal skeletal physiology in the context of benign or malignant lesions. Rarely, pathologic fractures may occur in the context of a lymphatic abnormality, such as generalized lymphangiomatosis. This rare disorder is characterized by variable presentations in a broad age range of patients. By understanding the effect of widespread lymphatic anomalies on various organ systems, clinicians will be able to make this diagnosis earlier and with more certainty.
