Lymphatic malformations, or lymphangiomas, are benign proliferations of lymphatics, classified as superficial lymphangioma circumscriptum (LC) and deep (cavernous lymphangioma). LC, as the name suggests, is a well-circumscribed lesion but, rarely, extensive and invasive forms can also be seen. Surgical excision is the main modality of treatment. We report a case of extensive and invasive type of LC where surgical excision is difficult and recurrence is the rule.
淋巴管畸形，或淋巴管瘤，是淋巴管的良性增生，分为局限性浅表淋巴管瘤（LC）和深部（海绵状淋巴管瘤）。顾名思义，LC是一种边界清晰的病变，但也可见到罕见的广泛侵袭性形式。手术切除是主要的治疗方式。我们报告一例广泛侵袭性LC病例，手术切除困难且复发常见。
