Ay�e G�l Erdo�an¹, Deniz Balaban¹, Kadriye Ko�¹

Lymphangioma is a hamartoma surrounded by lymphatic endothelium and dilated lymph channels. It is considered as a malformation, not a true neoplasm. The most common form is lymphangioma circumscriptum that involves dermal superficial lymph channels and is frequently seen at birth and during childhood. A rare case of lymphangioma circumscriptum arising from a scrofuloderma related scar is presented.

Keywords: Lymphangioma circumscriptum, scrofuloderma
