Sagarika S Bhole, Mohd Yunus Shah, Zansher Nazar
TL;DR
This paper reports a rare case of a cystic lymphangioma in an adult's lower limb and reviews existing literature on the condition.
Contribution
The novelty lies in presenting a rare case of CL in the lower limb of an adult and emphasizing the need for more reports on such occurrences.
Findings
Cystic lymphangioma in the lower limb is extremely rare in adults.
Surgical resection was an effective treatment for the reported case.
Most CL cases occur in the head and neck region, not the limbs.
Abstract
Cystic lymphangioma (CL) is a rare congenital deformity that almost exclusively affects children. Among the incidences, the majority occur in the head and neck area. Adults who develop these lesions likely develop them as a result of trauma. Here, we present the case of an adult female with a CL in the right calf region. Over time, it continued to grow to a noticeable size. Surgical resection was a good management strategy for the patient. We conducted a literature survey in light of scarce reports depicting CL in the limbic area.
