What is a Rare Lymphatic Anomaly?
Because these rare diseases can affect different parts of the body, symptoms can vary depending on which body areas are affected.
Lymphatic malformations often occur in the skin and soft tissue. They contain lymphatic fluid and are seen as a “mass” or cyst.
When the draining of lymphatic fluid does not occur properly, a more generalized swelling occurs.
Who we are
The LGD Alliance Europe is the European organisation for patients with Rare and Complex Lymphatic Anomalies. We want to connect patients, family, clinicians and researchers affected by and dedicated to these rare diseases in Europe.
What we do
Our mission is to provide support, education and hope to patients and families affected by Rare and Complex Lymphatic Anomalies.
How you can help
Get Involved
You can help by getting involved in many ways like:
Support us and our work – also in the future. You can support us with an annual donation of minimal 25 euro or give a single donation.
Help us as help patients and become a volunteer. Write for our newsletter, help with translations or give a lecture at school to raise awareness.
Selling cookies, racing cars or swim all night: every fundraiser that will raise money and awareness for Lymphatic Anomalies, is great!
How easy can it be? You do your online shopping, pay nothing extra and a percentage of your spendings will go to the LGDA.

As a patient you can help in other ways as well:
Register as a patient in our medical registry. That way you can support scientific studies into Rare and Complex Lymphatic Anomalies.
