Lymphangioma circumscriptum--a clinicopathological review.

Our experience with 3 extensive cases of lymphangioma circumscriptum and a literature review are presented. Excision of these lesions should always be thorough and include all subcutaneous tissue down to fascia. Frozen section may be helpful. Partial excision of troublesome areas or excision of the large deep cystic areas may be indicated in very extensive lesions. When these conditions are satisfied, the result of surgery should improve.
