Lymphatic Malformation

In this study, we present a case report of a pediatric lymphatic malformation of the sphenoid sinus. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Soft Tissue Mass

    However, there are congenital and acquired, as well as benign and malignant, soft-tissue masses that can mimic them clinically and at imaging. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Figure 1 (a) T1-weighted coronal view showing an intracoronal large serpiginous soft tissue mass involving the superior aspect of the right orbit (black arrow). [nature.com]

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to navigation Jump to search Cystic lymphatic malformation Specialty Dermatology A Cystic lymphatic malformation is a deep-seated, typically multilocular, ill-defined soft-tissue mass that is painless and covered [en.wikipedia.org]

    The radiologic evaluation of a magnetic resonance imaging scan showed weighted MR images of the lumbar spine show a large soft tissue mass composed of large cysts that was most compatible with a lymphatic malformation.. [pediatriceducation.org]

  • Inguinal Hernia

    At birth the child was noted to have a right inguinal hernia with two palpable testicles. Plan for partial resection and hernia repair with postoperative sclerotherapy was made. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Pharyngitis

    To the authors' knowledge this is the first description of a submucosal coblation technique being used as treatment for pharyngeal LMs. Copyright 2013 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Pharyngeal cleft cysts should be carefully excluded. LMs of the floor of the mouth and tongue are usually microcystic and diffuse, and they usually have minimal or no contrast enhancement. [birthmarks.us]

  • Steatorrhea

    She did not have common symptoms of intestinal vascular and lymphatic malformation, such as gastrointestinal bleeding, steatorrhea, and hypoalbuminemia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Pelvic Mass

    This case is different from the 3 cases reported before, for it is only presented with a palpable pelvic mass and the lesion did not penetrate full thickness of bladder. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Petechiae

    Examination under anesthesia and vaginoscopy showed a congested appearance of the hymen and vaginal petechiae. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Subcutaneous Mass

    Abstract OBJECTIVE: Palpable subcutaneous masses present in various shapes and sizes in the pediatric population and, accordingly, represent a variety of underlying causes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Blepharoptosis

    All of the patients had excellent aesthetic improvement and corrected blepharoptosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    The extensive lesions typically cause swelling, intraorbital hemorrhage, ocular proptosis, blepharoptosis, and cellulitis. [ajnr.org]

  • Strabismus

    Amblyopia, astigmatism, and strabismus were not improved after treatment. All of the patients had excellent aesthetic improvement and corrected blepharoptosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    If it is localized around the eye, it may cause proptosis (push the eye forward), increased intraocular pressure, strabismus, diplopia and even vision loss. [texaschildrens.org]

    […] typically fluctuate in size with upper respiratory infections, and expand suddenly due to intralesional hemorrhage and infection. 3 – 7 Ocular complications include astigmatism, corneal exposure, hyperopia secondary to pressure on the posterior globe, strabismus [ajnr.org]

  • Miosis

    Twenty-one weeks after initial treatment, ophthalmic examination showed complete resolution of the blepharoptosis and pupillary miosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Chemosis

    OBJECTIVES: Periorbital microcystic lymphatic malformations (LM) can cause severe symptoms, such as blepharoptosis, amblyopia, chemosis, strabismus, diminished vision, and blindness. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Selective arteriograms in 2 patients in our series with acute proptosis and chemosis showed direct filling of irregularly shaped cystic spaces from tiny branches of the ophthalmic artery ( Fig 7 ) at the sites where MR imaging revealed intensely enhancing [ajnr.org]

  • Unilateral Proptosis

    Prenatal ultrasound revealed prominence of the left orbital soft tissue, and at birth, the patient was noted to have unilateral proptosis, tortuous retinal vessels, and intraretinal hemorrhages in all 4 quadrants in the left eye. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Abnormal Gait

    We report two cases of giant LM with occasional high fever and pain or abnormal gait. To overcome dose limitation and to prevent systematic toxicities, we performed both injection of absolute ethanol and aspiration of it after 5 min exposure to LM. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Vaginal Bleeding

    Premenarchal vaginal bleeding can present a diagnostic challenge and has not been previously reported in association with congenital venous lymphatic malformation. A 3-year-old girl presented with intermittent vaginal bleeding since birth. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Examination and radiologic workup were consistent with a veno-lymphatic malformation, including demonstration of cystic fluid-fluid levels on imaging. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

[…] histological features of lung specimens from nine patients in whom no extrathoracic lesions were identified, which they termed “diffuse pulmonary lymphangiomatosis” (DPL). 3 Recognition of the disease requires a high index of suspicion and an extensive workup [lgdalliance.org]

  • Multilocular Cyst

    They present with either generalized edema and poorly defined borders (microcystic) or a localized area of multilocular cysts (macrocystic). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

No treatment modality clearly resulted in superior treatment outcome. Complications were more frequent in surgical series but were reported inconsistently in sclerotherapy studies. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Once excised completely, the prognosis of the disease is good. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Generally, as the stage increases the prognosis for cure decreases. It is also generally true that facial and oropharyngeal involvement are associated with a worse prognosis. [childrensenthouston.com]

Stridor in a neonate evokes a series of prompt evaluations to determine the etiology. Common etiologies include inherent structural defects (such as laryngomalacia), vocal fold paralysis, acquired infectious etiologies, or extrinsic compressions. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Summary Epidemiology Prevalence is unknown. [orpha.net]

Discussion Epidemiology Lymphangiomas account for about 5% of benign tumors seen in infants and children. 1,2 The sites most commonly involved are the neck (75%) and axillae (20%). 3,4 Less than 1% of lymphangiomas are found in the gastrointestinal tract [gastroenterologyandhepatology.net]

Since a lymphatic malformation will never go away on its own, expert treatment is required to heal this condition, prevent infection and prevent complications. [spectrumhealth.org]

Can they be prevented? No, as they occur so early in pregnancy, they cannot be prevented. However, the effects of the lymphatic malformation can be reduced or prevented. [gosh.nhs.uk]
