Abstract
Lymphangioma is an abnormal collection of lymphatics that are developmental ly isolated from the normal lymphatic system. Lymphangioma rarely presents as a solitary pulmonary lesion. We present a case of solitary pulmonary lym phangioma and review the literature on its pathogenesis, clinical features, and radiographic findings. (C) 2001 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
