Uncommon Pediatric Presentation: Cavernous Lymphangioma Afflicting the Scalp

초록

Cavernous lymphangiomas, characterized by the cystic enlargement of lymphatic vessels in the dermis and subcutaneous tissue, are rarely reported in the scalp. We present the case of a 6-month-old male infant with occipital scalp swelling, whose ultrasonographic examination identified a multiseptated hypoechoic mass in the subcutaneous layer. Histologically, the tumor exhibited irregular, dilated spaces lined with a single layer of endothelial cells, showing D2-40 positivity. This represents a. rare case of pediatric cavernous lymphangioma of the scalp, accompanied by a literature review. © 2025 Korean Dermatological Association. All rights reserved.
