Lymphatic malformation (LMPHM), formerly known as hereditary lymphedema (LMPH), is a form of generalized lymphatic dysplasia characterized by chronic lesions of the extremities due to insufficient lymphatic drainage. The dilated lymphatic channels that are not connected to the lymphatic vessels cause these edemas.
