Lymphatic Malformation

Definition

Lymphatic malformation is a rare, non-malignant congenital condition characterized by the abnormal development of the lymphatic system, leading to the formation of fluid-filled sacs (cysts) within the body. These malformations can occur in various parts of the body, including the neck, head, and extremities, and may cause swelling, pain, or functional impairment.
