Overview
Lymphangiomatosis is rare disease, we can find this entity in differential diagnosis of osteolytic leasions of bones of unknown origin. Typical sign for lymphangiomatosis is proliferation of lymphatic tissue with production of lymphangiomas in various organs and systems. Clinical manifestation of disease is variable, involvement of lungs and bone is typical. In our article we present recent classification of lymphatic tissue neoplasias, their clinical symptoms and treatment possibilities.
