Congenital Pulmonary Lymphangiectasia (CPL)

In 1856, Virchow described the symptoms of Congenital Pulmonary Lymphangiectasia (CPL) (Virchow 2022). However, Laurence named this syndrome for the first time in 1959 (Doecke 2014). CPL is a rare condition characterized by lymphatic dilatation of the subpleural, interlobar, perivascular, and peribronchial regions of the lungs (Bellini et al. 2006). There are two types of CPL: primary and secondary (Reiterer et al. 2014).
