Lymphangiomas or cystic hygromas are relatively uncommon congenital malformations of the lymphatic system which usually present in the first years of childhood. Presentation in adult life is rare. We present a case of cervical adult cystic hygroma and discuss radiological and histopathological features as well as the management of these neck masses.

Lymphangiomas are rare congenital malformations of the lymphatic system. Authors present a case with giant, septated, axillary thoraco-abdominal lymphangioma. Diagnosis was made at 19 weeks’ gestation by antenatal ultrasonography. The case underwent prenatal expectation treatment.

Time Evaluation

Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance lymphangiography is a radiation-free, high spatial resolution technique which is increasingly used to evaluate thoracic lymphatic disorders and for pre-procedural planning. DCE has the added advantage of allowing dynamic real-time evaluation of lymphatic flow. It can be employed to investigate commonly encountered clinical situations such as recurrent pleural effusions following trauma, thoracic duct injury after thoracic surgery, and exclude diseases and congenital malformations of the thoracic lymphatic system. The imaging procedure and protocol are detailed in this case series to highlight the application of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance lymphangiography in everyday practice and its importance to guide surgical planning.

Lymphangiomas are congenital malformations of the lymphatic system. Multiple intra-abdominal cystic lymphangiomas are rare in adults. Author present a case of a 39-year-old male, presenting with recurrent episodes of haemorrhagic ascites. Laparoscopic biopsy and imaging investigations revealed multiple intra-abdominal cystic lymphangiomas involving the spleen, the liver and the retro-peritoneum. Surgical excision including splenectomy, excision of retroperitoneal and mesenteric lesions was done. The patient has been asymptomatic for 2 years on follow-up.

The lymphatic system is very important in the immunological activities of the body. Clinicians confirm the diagnosis of infectious diseases by palpating the involved cutaneous lymph node for changes in size, heat, and consistency. Clinical pathologists diagnose systemic diseases through biopsies of superficial lymph nodes. In many parts of the world the goat is considered as an important source of milk and meat products.The lymphatic system has been studied extensively. These studies lack precise information on the natural morphology of the lymph nodes and their vascular and cellular constituent. This is due to using improper technique for such studies. A few studies used the SEM, conducted by cutting the lymph node with a blade. The morphological data collected by this method are artificial and do not reflect the normal three dimensional surface of the examined area of the lymph node. SEM has been used to study the lymph vessels and lymph nodes of different animals. No information on the cutaneous lymph nodes of the goat has ever been collected using the scanning electron microscope.

SummaryIn 1961 an increase in certain congenital malformations was noticed in various parts of the Federal Republic of Germany. From the outset, it seemed very probable that a single cause was responsible, since, although these malformations varied, they appeared to belong to one and the same syndrome. For general reasons, such causes as radioactivity, contraceptives, attempted abortions or virus diseases did not provide an acceptable explanation. The epidemiology was, however, suggestive of some chemical substance taken orally.After thalidomide had been indicated in several histories, suspicion of that drug was aroused and, within one week, intake of it could be proved or was found to be very likely in 17 out of 20 cases, while in the remaining cases it could not be excluded. Though this first result was highly significant, we were at first reluctant to incriminate thalidomide definitely, because there was still some doubt about the reliability of the histories. But within a few weeks, the thalidomide aetiology received support from many sources. Specific studies on limited material are sometimes superior to extensive, broadly planned investigations.
