Benign lymphangioendothelioma is an acquired vascular proliferation clinically appearing as well‐demarcated, pink to red‐brown macules or plaques. Histologically, numerous endothelial‐lined channels are found infiltrating throughout the dermis. Recognition and differentiation from malignant vascular tumors is essential. We report 2 cases of benign lymphangioendothelioma. One of these lesions is unique in its presentation as a subcutanous nodule. The Other is also unusual, as it resolved spontaneously.
