Abstract

Cystic lymphangioma (CL) is a rare congenital deformity that almost exclusively affects children. Among the incidences, the majority occur in the head and neck area. Adults who develop these lesions likely develop them as a result of trauma. Here, we present the case of an adult female with a CL in the right calf region. Over time, it continued to grow to a noticeable size. Surgical resection was a good management strategy for the patient. We conducted a literature survey in light of scarce reports depicting CL in the limbic area.
