What does a lymphangioma represent?

Congenital disorder of nerve tissue
Congenital focal proliferation of lymph vessels
Congenital anomaly of bone structure
Hyperactivity of sweat glands

The correct answer is: Congenital focal proliferation of lymph vessels

A lymphangioma represents a congenital focal proliferation of lymph vessels, meaning an abnormal growth of lymph vessels that often occurs before or during birth. Option A, a congenital disorder of nerve tissue, is incorrect because a lymphangioma specifically refers to an abnormal growth of lymph vessels, not nerve tissue. Option C, a congenital anomaly of bone structure, is incorrect as well because the condition affects lymph vessels, not bone structure. Likewise, option D, hyperactivity of sweat glands, is incorrect since lymphangiomas do not involve sweat glands, but rather lymph vessels.
