Résumé

Conjunctival lymphangiomas are rare hamartomas of lymphatic origin that are usually located in the bulbar conjunctiva. They commonly present either as focal or diffuse bulbar chemosis or as dilatation of lymphatic vessels that resembles an isolated cyst or a group of cysts. There can be bleeding inside the lymphangioma resulting in "chocolate cysts".
