Lymphangioma

^ http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/HP_0100764

Lymphangiomas are rare congenital malformations consisting of focal proliferations of well-differentiated lymphatic tissue in multi cystic or sponge like structures. Lymphangioma is usually asymptomatic due to its soft consistency but compression of adjacent structures can be seen due to the mass effect of a large tumor. [ HPO:probinson PMID:12376602 ]
