Retroperitoneal cystic lymphangioma is a rare congenital malformation. The majority of lymphangiomas are present at birth and nearly all present before the age of two years. We report a case of giant cystic retroperitoneal lymphangioma in a patient who first presented with symptoms at the age of 7, underwent surgery, and who then suffered a recurrent mass 11 years later.

Differential diagnosis of the vallecular cyst include hemangiomas, lymphangiomas, teratomas, dermoid cyst, lingual thyroid and the internal thyroglossal duct cyst [3]. The patients usually asymptomatic or presented as odynophagia. In an extremely rare occurrence, a sudden increase in size for example in an intralesional bleeding c...

Over a period of seven years, 15 patients (aged from birth to 15 years; median 22 months) with lymphangioma were treated with OK-432; they received a mean of three injections each. Ten received OK-432 as first line treatment; five were treated after surgery (three had a residual lymphangioma after incomplete removal and two had a late recurrence). OK-432 proved to be effective for primitive as ...

BACKGROUND The vulva is an extremely rare site for lymphangioma, a benign tumor of the lymphatic vessels. A small number of case reports have described cavernous lymphangioma involving the unilateral labium majus of young women. We report a case of cavernous lymphangiomas involving the bilateral labia minora. CASE A 14-year-old girl presented with bilateral tumors of the labia minora, which w...

METHODS It was a hospital based prospective, cross-sectional, case series, conducted among the patients suffering from differe...

BACKGROUND Lymphangioma is an atypical non-malignant, lymphatic lesion that is congenital in origin. Lymphangioma is most frequently observed in the head and neck, but can occur at any location in the body. About 65% of lymphangiomas are apparent at birth, while 80-90% are diagnosed by two years of age. Occurrence in adults is rare, as evidenced by less than 100 cases of adult lymphangiomas rep...

Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare disorder characterized by the triad of vascular malformations, venous varicosities, and bone and soft-tissue hypertrophy. We present a case of Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome with limb hypertrophy, port-wine stains, lymphangiomas, and venous varicosities in the limbs.

Background: Lymphangiomas are relatively rare, benign, congenital malformations, which may affect the conjunctiva, lids and orbit of the eyes. Lymphangiomas are commonly located behind the orbital septum and usually manifest with proptosis, as well as the pain caused by spontaneous intralesional hemorrhage or upper respiratory infection. Previous studies have proposed the major causes of neonat...
