Lymphangioma
A lymphangioma is a benign malformation of the lymphatic vessels, that is, of the channels that carry lymph, which leads to the formation of small pouches or collections filled with this fluid.
Common symptoms: It usually appears as a soft lump under the skin, often present from an early age, which may grow little by little depending on its location.
Common causes: It arises from abnormal development of the lymphatic system and is not due to a person's habits or behaviors.
Which specialist treats it? The internist can carry out a first evaluation and guide toward the appropriate tests. If you detect a lump that persists or changes in size, the recommended thing is to discuss it with a professional who can check it.
