Clinical Classification

Clinical Information

  • Lymphangioma

    a benign tumor resulting from a congenital malformation of the lymphatic system. lymphangioendothelioma is a type of lymphangioma in which endothelial cells are the dominant component.
  • Lymphangioma, Cystic

    a cystic growth originating from lymphatic tissue. it is usually found in the neck, axilla, or groin.
  • Diffuse Pulmonary Lymphangiomatosis

    lymphangiomatosis diffusely involving the lung parenchyma.
  • Lymphangioma Circumscriptum

    a localized lymphangioma characterized by microcystic changes.
  • Liver Lymphangiomatosis

    multiple lymphangiomas that affect the liver and other anatomic sites. although histologically benign, diffuse lymphangiomatosis that affects the liver and multiple organs has a poor prognosis.
  • Lymphangiomatosis

    a lymphangioma affecting several anatomic sites.

Patient Education


Benign Tumors

Tumors are abnormal growths in your body. They can be either benign or malignant. Benign tumors aren't cancer. Malignant ones are. Benign tumors grow only in one place. They cannot spread or invade other parts of your body. Even so, they can be dangerous if they press on vital organs, such as your brain.

Tumors are made up of extra cells. Normally, cells grow and divide to form new cells as your body needs them. When cells grow old, they die, and new cells take their place. Sometimes, this process goes wrong. New cells form when your body does not need them, and old cells do not die when they should. These extra cells can divide without stopping and may form tumor.

Treatment often involves surgery. Benign tumors usually don't grow back.

Footnotes

[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
