Abstract:
Lymphangioma is a known, but rare manifestation of Noonan syndrome. We present the case of disseminated and circumscribed cutaneous lymphangiomas in the context of Noonan syndrome. Oral rapamycin is a promising treatment in these extensive and morbidity-causing cases.
Insights
Noonan syndrome can manifest as rare lymphangiomas. This case highlights disseminated cutaneous lymphangiomas and suggests oral rapamycin as a promising treatment for this condition.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Genetics
- Pediatrics
Background:
- Lymphangioma, a rare vascular malformation, is an infrequent manifestation of Noonan syndrome.

Secondary Lymphoid Organs
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
