'''Lymphangioma''', a lymphatic malformation, is a benign proliferation of [[lymph vessels]], and is rare, incidence estimated to be around 1 per 10 000 live births. They are fluid filled sacs that result from blockage of the lymphatic system. They are often associated with [[karyotype]] abnormalities such as [[Turner syndrome]].

These tumors may occur anywhere but usually occur in the head and neck (75%), with a predilection for the left side. Most (90%) are either evident at birth or become evident before age 2 years.

==[[Lymphangioma risk factors|Risk Factors]]==
There is no known cause for these vascular abnormalities. Genetic syndromes that are associated with cystic hygroma include [[Turner syndrome]] and some trisomies e.g. [[trisomy 13]], [[trisomy 18]] and [[trisomy 21]].


The tumor is a [[hamartoma]] or vascular developmental anomaly arising from lymphatic vessels, manifesting as a raised, soft, shaggy, bubbly, pinkish-white lesion; cosmetic considerations may warrant attempted removal of lymphangiomas.
