Abstract
Lymphangioma is a benign tumor of the lymphatic system which often develops during the embrionic period. The manifestation usually takes place before the age of 1 with non-specific clinical presentation. An obstetrician-gynecologist may face this pathology in the fetus and newborn as well as rendering emergency aid. The article presents two clinical cases of lymphangioma in a fetus and the newborn, and a 16 year-old child.
