A case of a young girl with oligosymptomatic multiple cystic lesions of the chest is presented. The chest lesions were found on routine chest X-ray when she was admitted because of meningococcal meningitis. As the lesions increased in size, surgery was performed; the operative specimens were identified as lymphangioma. This is a rare disorder, which presents difficulties in diagnosis and treatment. Its benign nature is challenged by its tendency to recur and the need for repeated operations.
