Overview
There are no known direct causes for lymphangioma.[1]
Causes
- There are no known direct causes for lymphangioma.
- Cystic hygroma usually presents in syndromes such as Turner syndrome and Down syndrome. Therefore it is thought that the lymphatic malformations can arise from gene mutations, occuring as missing or deleted part of chromosomes.[2]
- Acquired lymphangioma circumscriptum occur as a sequele of chronic lymphatic obstruction such as after surgery, infections or radiotherapy. [3]
