Lymphangioma is an abnormal collection of lymphatics that are developmentally isolated from the normal lymphatic system. Lymphangioma rarely presents as a solitary pulmonary lesion. We present a case of solitary pulmonary lymphangioma and review the literature on its pathogenesis, clinical features, and radiographic findings.
