Abstract

In this article, we review of the existing literature on cystic lymphangiomas and report a case of cystic lymphangioma of the breast in an 83‑year-old patient. This case required differential diagnosis between infiltrative cancer and cystic lymphangioma of the breast. The patient has undergone surgery (tumor removal). No complications were observed.
