title: An unusual case of superficial lymphangioma of the right foot.
abstract: Superficial lymphangioma is a microcytic lymphatic malformation that is usually present already at birth. Women are more commonly affected than men are. It occurs because of the deep lymphatic circulation obstruction. Superficial lymphangioma is most commonly found in the mouth, especially the tongue, on the shoulders, neck, limbs, armpits and groin. It appears as a cluster of small firm blisters filled with clear or hemorrhagic lymph fluid, resembling frogspawn. We are presenting an unusual case of superficial lymphangioma of the right foot in an adult female patient.
