Among 126 patients with lymphatic malformations who received inpatient treatment during the period from December 2010 to March 2017 at the clinical base of Pediatric Surgery Department of the Bogomolets National Medical University NPSH "OKHMATDYT" CLOVES syndrome was diagnosed in 7 (5, 56%) children.
