Lymphangiomas are benign tumors most commonly found in the neck, axilla and skin. Occasionally they may occur in the gastrointestinal tract, most in the small intestine or mesentary. Lymphangioma of the colon is rare. Many of the reported cases, however, have manifested similar radiographic features. This case exemplifies the characteristic radiographic and colonoscopic features which may suggest the diagnosis.

Dermatology and Venereology Department, Faculty of Medicine, Assiut University, Assiut, Egypt.
Generalized lymphatic anomaly (GLA), previously known as lymphangiomatosis, is a rare developmental disease characterized by abnormal proliferation of lymphatic vascular structures that may involve the dermis, soft tissue, bone, and visceral parenchyma. Being an uncommon condition and the lack of specific symptoms often result in a delayed diagnosis or even misdiagnosis, which, in addition to its progressive nature, can lead to dysfunction of vital organs, and ultimately, a poor prognosis. In this report, we present a unique case of GLA in an upper Egyptian female child.
