Lymphangiomatosisis a rare disorder believed to be result from a developmental malformation of lymphatic system. Lymphangiomatosis involves bone, soft tissues, and viscera in a diffuse fashion. We describe an unusual case of splenic lymphangiomatosis in 41 years old female.

This is a report of a case of cystic hygroma of the neck in a female child. Cystic hygroma is a rare congenital malformation of the lymphatic system, most frequently detected in the head and neck region. Ultrasound is considered as being the first level study to investigate a suspected mass suggestive of cystic hygroma. The Authors describe the main diagnostic ultrasound features for this type ...

Lymphatic malformation (LM) is a localized and rare benign anomaly of the lymphatic system. Surgery is the primary form of treatment, but total resection is difficult and generally not possible. The least invasive and most effective form of treatment is injection sclerotherapy with sclerosing agents. Here, we report a case of LM in a baby, detected at prenatal ultrasound. The aim of this report...

Klippel Trenaunay syndrome refers to a rare congenital anomaly which is characterized by capillary malformation, venous malformation and sometimes lymphatic malformation associated with overgrowth of a limb, with soft tissue hypertrophy and/or bony hypertrophy. The anomaly, if present, is present at birth and usually involves the lower limbs as well as portion of trunk, face, uppper limb or hea...

Solitary cystic mediastinal lymphangioma (CML) is a very uncommon benign vascular tumour developed from lymphatic vessels. Cystic lymphangioma is a cyst caused by a congenital malformation of the lymphatic vessels and can affect any site in the body, but ,1% of lymphangiomas are mediastinal [1] and pulmonary lesions are even less common. They are most often located in the anterior mediastinum. ...

Lymphatic malformations can occur anywhere in the head and neck, and when they do so in the oral cavity, they can present a potential hazard to the airway. We describe a 4-year-old girl with a giant lymphatic malformation of the tongue and neck. This report illustrates the particular difficulties that may be encountered in cases involving giant lymphatic malformations of the cervicofacial regio...

Cystic hygroma or macrocystic lymphatic malformation is a well-known entity and its diagnosis and management is also well described in literature. Rarely its size and location may pose management challenges.[1-3] We managed a case of humongous macrocystic lymphatic malformation of axilla and chest wall in a newborn. At 25 weeks of gestation, a 16cm mass was reported by antenatal ultrasound arou...

To the Editor: We read with interest the article titled “A Histopathologic and Imaging Study of Verrucous Hemangioma” by Dr. Garrido-Ríos et al1 published in the November 2008 issue of Actas Dermosif iliográficas.1 It is difficult to establish retrospective diagnoses without clinical (and not just histologic) images of the primary lesion. The appearance and change in these images would provide ...

Lymphatic malformations have been rarely reported in literature either in humans or in animals. However, in recent years, concern about these malformations in humans has increased. A five-month-old Rasa Aragonesa male lamb was received at the Ovine Clinical Service of the Veterinary Faculty of Zaragoza, Spain, with a history of cervical protuberances coming from birth. The lamb showed three rou...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether an immunologic abnormality exists in patients with lymphatic malformation (LM). DESIGN Retrospective case series. SETTING Tertiary care pediatric hospital. PATIENTS Twenty-one consecutive patients (11 male and 10 female) undergoing LM treatment. INTERVENTIONS Clinical data (ie, age, clinical LM stage, radiographic appearance, and histologic findings) were ...
