Abstract

The article presents a clinical case of a combination of lymphangioma with exostosis of the scapula. Localization, exostosis size and deformation of the adjacent ribs – all indicate chronic traumatism, which may be the cause of damage and proliferation of lymphatic tissue. In embryogenesis, both developmental defects are a consequence of violation of the mesodermal embryonic development, therefore it is impossible to exclude a combined tumor.
