Lymphangioms of the women's reproductive system

Abstract

Lymphangiomas are congenital, hamartomatous and uncommon malformations of the lymphatic system that affect the skin and subcutaneous tissues. The most frequently used classification divides these lesions into 2 main groups according to the depth and size of these abnormal lymphatic vessels; arise from kidnappings of lymphatic tissue that should normally communicate with the lymphatic system. Most appear to be developmental lesions that occur relatively early in life, rarely occur in adulthood. The histological features that favor diagnosis are the presence of lymphoid aggregates in the stroma; They appear on any part of the skin and mucous membranes and surgical management with complete surgical excision.
