Lymphangiomatosis, a rare disease, occurs in individuals of any age, regardless of gender, but is predominantly seen in younger individuals. It often presents with pulmonary involvement, although, the bones, spleen and liver can also be affected. Histologically, pulmonary involvement includes proliferation, complex anastomoses and secondary dilatation of the lymphatic vessels.
