Surgical Management of Combined Venous Lymphatic Malformation of the Orbit: A Case Report

Abstract

Combined venous lymphatic malformation is a benign, nonhereditary vascular anomaly. These unencapsulated hamartomas can be associated with spontaneous, recurrent hemorrhage leading to proptosis and pain. We describe a patient with this lesion to discuss the various management strategies and surgical challenges encountered with this condition.
