Lymphangioma tuberosum multiplex is a variant of lymphangioma in which there is an abundant proliferation of endothelial cells and dilated lymphatic vessels forming a large, lobulated tumor. A 57‐year‐old black man developed lymphangioma tuberosum multiplex progressively over a 30‐year period following the removal of a smaller tumor from the right posterior flank.
