Abstract
|
|
|
|
Lymphangioma is an uncommon, benign hamartomatous malformation that consists of dilated lymphatic channels lined by normal, single-cell lymphatic endothelia. The lymphangiomas are divided into cavernous lymphangioma, cystic hygroma, lymphangioma circumscriptum, and acquired progressive lymphangioma. Acquired lymphangioma circumscriptum usually occurs due to surgery, infection or radiotherapy, which leads to obstruction of lymphatic vessels. Clinically, the lesions appear as thick-walled, 2∼5 mm translucent vesicles. Spontaneous drainage of straw-colored to milky-white fluids may occur. Herein, we report an acquired lymphangioma circumscriptum of the nipple areola without preceding causes.
