Lymphangiomyoma.

Abstract

A case report is presented of the incidental finding of a lymphangiomyoma in a 50-year-old woman who underwent total hysterectomy for squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix. The condition seems to occur only in women after puberty and so far, has been mainly reported in association with chylothorax or chylous ascites. There is no evidence of any clinical complication more than 2 years after removal of the lesion. The lesion is most likely a hamartoma although the term lymphangiomyoma is acceptable. The term lymphangiomyomatosis is best reserved for the fully developed clinico-pathological syndrome.
