We present a 27‐year‐old woman with non‐systemic diffuse lymphangiomatosis of spleen and liver. The tumour consisted of capillary and cavernous lymphatic vessels located in abundant fibrous tissue. The vascular endothelium showed immunoreactivity for factor VIII‐related antigen. A basal lamina could be demonstrated immunohistochemically and by electronmicroscopy.
