Lymphatic micro vessel density (LMVD) between group I (Benign tumours) and group II (Malignant tumours) mean value of lymphatic micro vessel density in group I was 5.1 ± 3.13 and mean value of lymphatic microvessel density in group II was 4.15 ± 3.15. Overall, lymphatic micro vessel density was found to be almost similar in both the groups.
Table 3: Peripheral MEC showed a mean LMVD count whereas central MEC showed higher count of mean.
