    We present the case of a four month old male who presented with chief complaint of inspiratory stridor after a single episode of pneumonia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Upper Abdominal Pain

    In our case, the main complaint of patient was left upper abdominal pain, which may be related to the expansion of the giant lesion compressing the surrounding structures. [springerplus.springeropen.com]

    CASE REPORT A 49-year-old women presented with increasing upper abdominal pain and nausea in November 2007. She had a past medical history of a uterine myomectomy in 1997, and a hysterectomy and left oophorectomy in 2006. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Macroglossia

    Key words :Cystic hygroma, Lymphangioma, Macroglossia Lymphangioma is a benign, harmatomatous tumour of lymphatic vessels with a marked predilection for the head and neck region. [arabmedmag.com]

    Isolated tongue involvement can lead to macroglossia with dysphagia and airway obstruction. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Oral lymphangiomas occur more commonly in the anterior two-third of the tongue, resulting in macroglossia. Various other sites such as lip, palate, and buccal mucosa have been reported. [jofs.in]

  • Vesicular Rash

    Lymphangiomas are most commonly described as a small painless mass in the neck or a vesicular rash in an infant patient. Ninety per cent of cases are diagnosed before the age of 2. Treatment usually involves surgical resection. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Gait Ataxia

    An 83-year-old woman presented with progressive gait ataxia, bilateral lower extremity weakness, and a band-like sensation in the middle and lower thoracic dermatomes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The clinical presentation is usually subacute and diagnosis made incidentally during a workup of chronic gastrointestinal symptoms. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Pericardial Effusion

    Mediastinal lymphangioma is a rare entity and chylopericardium is a rare form of pericardial effusion. We report a case of acute chylous cardiac tamponade due to a cervicomediastinal lymphangioma in a one-year-old boy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Ovarian Mass

    The systematic ultrasound examination reveals a right ovarian mass. The histologic analysis confirmed the diagnosis of cystic lymphangioma of the right ovary. She was planned for total laparoscopic tumorectomy with removal of all ovarian mass. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Treponema Pallidum

    All hematological and biochemical parameters, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Treponema Pallidum tests, C1-Inhibitor and C1-Q values were within limits. An accurate fulguration and wide excision of bigger lesions were performed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This report outlines our approach to workup and treatment of this rare lesion. Case report of presentation, diagnosis and treatment is presented. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Lymphangioma circumscriptum has a high recurrence rate after excision because of its deep component (see Pathophysiology ). Cavernous lymphangioma are also uncommon and usually arise during infancy. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Despite the rarity of breast cystic lymphangioma, its evaluation should be considered for prompt diagnosis and definitive treatment to prevent recurrence and complications. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention of Lymphangioma There are no known preventive measures for lymphangioma as it is an infection that victims or patients are born with as such cannot be prevented, but can only be managed when discovered on time. [epainassist.com]
