Disseminated lymphangiomatosis
Lymphangiomatosis is a condition where a lymphangioma is not present in a single localised mass, but in a widespread or multifocal manner. It is a rare type of tumor which results from an abnormal development of the lymphatic system.It is thought to be the result of congenital errors of lymphatic development occurring prior to the 20th week of gestation.
