# Cystic Lymphangioma Over the Lower Limb: A Case Report With a Literature Review

## 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.

## Key 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.
