Lymphohemangioma

Lymphohemangioma is a disease characterized by swelling of the lymph nodes and blood vessels. It is variously described as a "mixture of clear fluid and blood-filled cysts",^{[citation needed]} a mass of abnormal swollen veins and lymph nodes, or a tumorous growth of lymph and blood vessels. Oftentimes, it is described as a misnomer for combined lymphatic and capillary malformation.^{[citation needed]} The lymphangiomas are known to be malformations of the lymph tissue, 75% of which is found near the head and neck. However, it can affect any region of the body. This disease is most commonly observed in children and male patients. In fact, Lymphangiomas account for 4% of all vascular tumors and 25% of the benign vascular tumors in children. Additionally, 50% of Lymphangiomas are noted at birth and become more evident by age 5.^[1]
