Lymphangiectasia is the dilatation of abnormal lymphatic channels, which have failed to establish normal communication with the rest of the lymphatic system. The dilated lymphatic channels conglomerate and form a unilocular or multilocular cystic mass, known as a lymphangioma. The diagnosis of retroperitoneal lymphangioma is usually made in infancy. It occurs with equal frequency in males and females. Common clinical findings include pain, abdominal distension, fever, fatigue, weight loss and haematuria. A retroperitoneal lymphangioma can be imaged by ultrasound, CT or MRI. It may be elongated in contour and characteristically spans more than one retroperitoneal compartment. Uncomplicated fluid is seen within the mass or locules, which are separated by thin septa. The fluid appears complicated in the presence of haemorrhage or infection. Rarely, calcification and chyle are present.

Lymphangioma Quick Summary Introduction References Photos ... Prognosis Nodular mass of midline tongue (top of photo) has numerous clear surface "blisters." Two satellite lesions are seen in lower portion of photo. Quick Review for Patients Top of This Page Introduction Note: click on underlined words for more detail or photos. The lymphangioma is a benign hamartomatous hyperplasia of lymphatic vessels, with three-fourths of all cases occurring in the head and neck region. While occasional adult-onset cases occur, this tumor is thought to be a developmental malformation of vessels which have poor communication with the normal lymph system. Very large cystic spaces may be seen in lesions proliferating in loose connective tissues and fascial spaces. Diagnosed cases are typically superficial but may extend deeply into underlying connective tissues. Rarely, multiple lesions are seen in infancy and childhood in lymphangiomatosis , the lymphatic counterpart to angiomatosis of blood vessels and a potentially life-threatening disease when visceral involvement occurs.

Background This is a benign proliferation of lymph vessels. Unlike its cousin, the hemangioma, these tumors are rare. However, they are important to recognize because they may mimic many vascular tumors including angiosarcomas and Kaposi's sarcoma. These tumors may occur anywhere but usually present in the head and neck in children and infants. Visceral organs such as the lungs and gastrointestinal tract may also be involved. In the soft tissue, these tumors present as a soft fluctuant mass that varies in size.

This lesion may wax and wane in size, especially when the child has an upper respiratory infection. Occasionally these tumors may undergo a rapid expansion in size when there is an acute hemorrhage in one of the tumor spaces forming a large, chocolate cyst. Histopathologically, the lesion is composed of multiple, irregular-shaped lymphatic channels which are lined by flatten endothelial cells (#22126) (#22125).

RETROPERITONEAL CYSTIC LYMPHANGIOMA V. Poncelet Key-word: Lymphangioma. Clinical history Radiological diagnosis CT scan of the abdomen (fig. 1) shows on (fig. 1 A) a large cystic mass in the right hemiabdomen showing negative (-10 HU) attenuation values. At a more cranial level (fig. 1 B) CT guided percutaneous aspiration (fig. 2) yielded 420 ml yellowish fluid. After the procedure the cyst was no longer visible. Electrophoretic analysis of the aspired fluid (fig. 3) shows peaks of pre-beta-lipoproteins and chylomicrons. No neoplastic cells were found. Bacteriologic examination was negative. unilocular cystic lymphangioma Figure 1 A Figure 1 B Figure 2 Figure 3 Discussion Lymphangiomas are benign malformations of lymphatic vessels most frequently discovered in childhood. They are most commonly located in the neck, axillary region and mediastinum (95%). The remaining 5% are found in the abdominal cavity (mesentery, omentum, retroperitoneum, spleen, liver, pancreas). Three histologic types are described: capillary, cavernous and cystic lymphangiomas. Cystic lymphangiomas are usually multilocular, although they may be unilocular. They contain serous or chylous fluid. Differences in cyst content depend on degree of stenosis of the chyle ducts and intrication with the lymphatic system. Clinical symptomatology is linked to the size of the lesion. Differential diagnosis includes mesenteric cyst, duplication cyst and lymphocoele.

COMBINED THORACIC AND ABDOMINAL LYMPHANGIOMA IN AN ADULT A. M. Fauquenot-Nollen, M. L. Plaisier, R. T. Tjon A Tham Key-word: Lymphangioma. Background: A 29-year-old man without significant medical history presented to our hospital with a persistent cold without fever. He had no abdominal complaints. Work-up Physical examination revealed some dullness to percussion and reduced breath sounds at the base of the right lung. Routine laboratory tests were normal and HIV serology was negative. The chest radiograph showed an elevation of the right hemidiaphragm and scalloping of the left one. Subsequently abdominal ultrasound and CT scan of the thorax and abdomen were performed. Radiological diagnosis Radiograph of the chest, PA-view ( fig. 1 ) shows marked elevation of the right and scalloping of the left hemi-diaphragm. Ultrasonography of the abdomen ( fig. 2 ) demonstrates a large multilocular cystic mass at the base of the right hemi-thorax. The cysts are separated by multiple thick septa. Contrast-enhanced CT scan of the thorax (fig. 3) shows well defined fluid collections in both pleural spaces ( fig. 3 A

HELLO FRIENDS! Welcome to Lymphangioma l ymphatic malformation) Home page! A Home page about a RARE CASE OF LYMPHANGIOMA Hello and welcome to my web page. My name is Ali Jannesari I am 26 years old and I am a computer software engineer. It is about 14 years that I am suffering from Lymphangioma. So far I haven't found a treatment for my ailment. So I decided to build a Home page to obtain information and probably a treatment for it. This Home page has non-profit purpose and intends to find people who have information about Lymphangioma and its treatment (e.g. Dr.s , medical centers and etc.) and to know the people that are anguished with the same disease .So we can make contact with each other and share our experiences. I need your experiences in this case and am very much obliged to anybody with any kind of help. Thanks. What is Lymphangioma (in general) Lymphangioma is a lymphatic malformation and is rare defect in the lymphatic system. It is an inborn tumor of the lymphatic system that, in some rare cases, may be inherited as an autosomal recessive genetic trait. This progressive disorder is characterized by a large sac filled with lymph fluid protruding from the skull at the nape of the neck. The Lymphangioma is thought to be caused by a failure of the lymph system to properly connect with the blood vessels in the neck and thus with the appropriate blood circulation system. My case of Lymphangioma : the full name of my illness is Systemic Lymphangiomatosis.
