Abstract:
Lymphangiomas result from a failure of lymphatic drainage into the venous system due to atresia or an insufficiency of the efferent lymphatic channels. The neck and axillary regions are most commonly affected, while the condition is rarely found in the inguinal area, scrotum, retroperitoneal space, abdominal viscera, arm, pelvis or bones. We report a case of a cystic lymphangioma of the lower abdomen, penis and scrotum in a 29-year-old man.
