Lymphangiomas usually occur in one localized area.
In general, Lymphangiomas do not cause any medical problems.
Unfortunately, in many cases of Lymphangiomas, they can recur after removal.
Lymphangiomas are caused by abnormal development of the lymphatic system,
but exactly why this happens is unknown.
The appearance of Lymphangiomas can vary from small patches to large swellings,
depending on how much fluid they contain.
Treatment for Lymphangiomas varies case by case, and
it often involves a team of specialists working together to decide the best course of action.
Lymphangiomas are the result of a congenital condition
and are usually apparent at birth, or at least by the time a person is 2 years old.
