Abstract
Generalized lymphangiomatosis is an extremely rare condition with clin ical features depending on the extent of involvement. We report a newb orn infant with chylothorax and cutaneous lymphangiomas of unique clin ical presentation. The baby required artificial ventilation, pleural d rainage, low triglyceride infusions, and diet. The course was favorabl e, with a complete regression of the cutaneous lymphangiomas.
