Lymphangioma of the ovary is an extremely rare lesion. It was first described in 1908. Lymphangiomas are benign congenital malformations of lymphatic system. They are thought to happen due to obstruction of local lymph flow system and they can occur anywhere in the skin and the mucous membranes. Most common sites are the head and the neck and sometimes they can be found in the intestines, the pancreas and the mesentery. Lymphangioma of the ovary is a very rare tumor. Typically, lymphangiomas are slow-growing tumors that remain asymptomatic for a long time, with the tumor being identified incidentally during histopathological examination after excision.
