Les malformations lymphatiques kystiques cutanées sont des dilatations plus ou moins importantes développées à partir du système lymphatique. Elles sont macrokystiques, microkystiques ou mixtes. Les malformations microkystiques superficielles (lymphangioma circumscriptum) se manifestent par des groupements de vésicules translucides ou hématiques, des papules ou des plaques roses infiltrées ou h...

Lymphangioma is a benign and congenital malformation of the lymphatic system. Most lymphangiomas are preferentially located in the head and neck region. The abdominal organs are uncommon sites of origin. Several cases of lymphangioma in abdominal organs were reported, however, the pancreas is one of the rarest origins. Generally, intra-abdominal lymphangioma is asymptomatic and found incidental...

conclusions in evaluation of adrenal masses cystic lymphangioma should be considered as a differential diagnosis. introduction adrenal cystic lymphangioma is a rare benign tumor, which is nearly always asymptomatic and incidentally discovered during routine imaging work-ups or investigating other pathologies. case report a 43-year-old female presented hypertension, which during routine work-up ...

CONTEXT Cystic-cavernous lymphangioma is a rare cystic tumor especially for adults and pancreas. CASE REPORT We reported a case of a 33-year-old woman who presented with a visible and palpable abdominal mass found to be a huge lymphangioma of the pancreas. An abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a multiloculated, lobulated T1 hypo/hyper, T2 hyperintense cystic mass extending from...

Background. Lymphangioma is a rare venolymphatic lesion, characterized by dilation of lymphatic vessels. It may occur as an isolated lesion or, more often, represent the surface component of a deep orbital lymphangioma. Case. We report a case of a conjunctival lymphangioma on a 58-year-old male that had simultaneously an upper respiratory tract infection. Excision and biopsy confirmed the natur...

Lymphangiomas are rare congenital benign tumors arising from the lymphatic system, and are mostly encountered in the neck and axillary regions of pediatric patients (95%). Lymphangioma of the pancreas is extremely rare accounting for less than 1% of these tumors. We report here on a case of pancreatic cystic lymphangioma. A 54-year-old woman presented with intermittent postprandial abdominal di...

Lymphangiomas are localized malformations of the lymphatic system that most commonly occur in the head and neck. However, less than 1% of all lymphangiomas are confined to the mediastinum. The standard treatment has been surgical excision, but the involvement of vital structures in the area local to the lymphangioma makes total excision virtually impossible in most cases. To our knowledge, ther...

Lymphangioma occur commonly in the neck and axillae of pediatric patients, caused by an obstruction of the lymphatic flow because of congenital lymphatic malformation. However, mesenteric lmphangioma of the small intestine is a rare tumor that is seldom associated with small bowel volvulus, particularly in adult patients. Although rare, mesenteric lymphangioma can cause volvulus and intestinal ...

Lymphangioma is a well-known benign tumor and its cystic abnormalities of the lymph vessels are predominantly congenital. Cystic lymphangioma usually occurs in the neck, axillary region, and rarely in the mediastinum, which frequently occurs in children and young adults. A 20-year-old woman had symptoms of palpitation, cough, and dyspnea during the recent 1 month. Both chest comuted tomography ...
