Lymphangiomas are rare, accounting for 4% of all vascular tumors among children. The incidence of lymphangioma is estimated to be less than 2 cases per 100,000 individuals in the United States. Lymphangioma commonly affects individuals younger than 5 years of age. Lymphangioma affects men and women equally. There is no racial predilection to the lymphangioma.
