Beningn lymphangioendothelioma: report of 2 cases

Abstract

Benign lymphangioendothelioma is an acquired vascular proliferation clinically appearing as well-demarcated, pink to red-brown macules or plaques. Histologically, numerous endothelial-lined channels are found infiltrating throughout the dermis. Recognition and differentiation from malignant vascular tumors is essential. We report 2 cases of benign lymphangioendothelioma. One of these lesions is unique in its presentation as a subcutaneous nodule. The other is also unusual, as it resolved spontaneously.
