Pathogenesis

• Lymphangioma arises from lymphatic vessels, which are a vital part of the circulatory and immune system, where they are normally involved in re-circulation of excess body fluid back into the blood stream.
• Lymphangioma is a common benign tumor that often grows proportionally to the patients’ body growth rate.
