Giant cystic axillary hemangiolymphangioma. A case report

Introduction: Hemangiolymphangioma is an extremely rare vascular malformation comprised of both endothelial and lymphatic components. It is a subgroup under the umbrella of endothelial malformations(1). It is believed to be caused by anomalous embryological development, leading to the formation of a rapidly growing tumor (2). The most common site of presentation occurs in the anterior and posterior cervical triangle of the neck. We present the case of a 20 year old male with an rapidly growing axillary tumor of 6 months of evolution, referring no symptoms at all. The case is explained in detail to the patient and later it is decided to intervene surgically on the person to remove the tumor. Keywords: Hemangiolymphangiom
