Abstract

Lymphatic malformations are congenital malformations that are usually evident at birth and rarely manifest in adolescence. The breast is an extremely rare site for these masses and only a handful of them have been described in the literature. Surgical resection is the only way to potentially cure this disorder. Here we describe a case of a 15-year-old male presenting with a large lymphangioma with a discussion on reconstruction to minimize recurrence and maximize an aesthetic result.
