Abstract:
Lymphangioma circumscriptum is a rare non-malignant skin tumour, conventionally treated by surgical resection, but with variable results. We report two cases, which, although unsuitable for excision, were treated successfully by radiotherapy and consider the place of this modality in managing this disorder. We conclude that radiotherapy is an effective treatment for unresectable lesions, or for patients who are unwilling to consider surgery.
