Pure posterior mediastinal cystic lymphangiomas are very rare and have seldom been documented. This is the report of such a case, including the ultrasonographic and computed tomographic manifestations of the lesion, the first documentation of such manifestations in the literature.

L ymphangiomas (also called cystic hygroma, lymphactic or chylous cysts) are cystic abnormalities of the lymph vessels that are predominantly congenital, though acquired causes have been suggested. They typically present at birth or within the first 2 years of life. Most occur in the head and neck, occasionally the axilla or groin, and very rarely in the mediastinum. We report the case of a pat...

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...

Introduction Lymphangiomas, also known as cystic hygromas or cystic lymphangiomas, are cystic abnormalities of the lymph vessels and they are rare benign tumors. Tracheal bronchus (Bronchus suis or “pig bronchus”) is a very rare congenital anomaly. The aim of this work is to present а very rare case of а lymphangioma with tracheal bronchus. Case outline The article presents the rare case of a 3...

Cystic lymphangioma is a congenital malformation of the lymphatic system. This condition is usually observed among children and very rarely among adults. The aetiology in adults is likely due to delayed proliferation of cell rests due to physical injury or infection. Clinically, cystic lymphangioma is asymptomatic in adults. Treatment is generally surgical, although other methods, such as aspir...

Lymphangioma is a rare, benign lesion derived from a malformation of the lymphatic system, which is more frequently found in the head, neck, and axilla. However, it may be present anywhere in the body, and the diagnosis involves adults as children with some distinct clinical features among them. In pediatric patients, abdominal cystic lymphangioma occurs mostly in the mesentery presenting abdom...

It occurs most commonly in the neck. Rarely they are known to ...

Cystic adrenal lymphangiomas are very rare, benign vascular lesions. They are usually found during a work up for abdominal pain or incidentally during imaging studies for an unrelated cause. We report two cases of cystic adrenal lymphangiomas. They presented with flank discomfort, hypertension and flushing. Their laboratory findings were in normal limits. Radiologic imagings showed adrenal cyst...

CONTEXT Lymphangiomas are uncommon benign neoplasms that result from a blockage of the lymphatic system. Pancreatic cystic lymphangiomas are extremely rare. Pancreatic cystic lymphangiomas have been classically diagnosed on histopathologic examination following surgical excision, but recent reports have demonstrated successful diagnosis using endoscopic ultrasound with fine-needle aspiration (E...
