Overview

Lymphangioma must be differentiated from arteriovenous malformation, branchial cleft cyst, and dermoid cyst.

Differentiating Lymphangioma from other diseases

Lymphangioma must be differentiated from following:

• Arteriovenous malformation
• Lymphangiosarcoma
• Branchial cleft
• Dermoid cyst
• Other vascular anomolies
