Case Report: Macrocystic Lymphangioma of the Arm

Description

We report the case of a macrocystic lymphatic malformation present since birth in the right arm of a 3-year-old child. Ultrasound and MRI were consistent with a macrocystic lymphatic malformation, and histology after total resection confirmed the diagnosis. These lesions are common in the head and neck, but rarely occur in the extremities.
