Abstract:
A 12-year-old African female presented with a 6-year history of relatively asymptomatic umbilical lesions. On clinical examination, the lesions were papillomatous, violaceous nodules and translucent papules with a serosanguineous discharge. The lesions emanated from the umbilicus and extended peri-umbilically. Histopathology confirmed a lymphangioma and MRI and CT imaging revealed multiple intra-abdominal lymphatic malformations. The patient was referred to plastic surgery for further management. Due to the extent of involvement, surgical resection was an option but currently the therapeutic approach is sclerotherapy with bleomycin.

Development of the Lymphatic System
The first lymph sacs to form are the paired jugular lymph sacs located at the junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins. From these sacs, lymphatic capillary plexuses extend to the thorax, upper limbs, neck, and head, eventually forming lymphatic vessels. Each jugular lymph sac maintains a...
