Cystic lymphangioma is a benign lymphatic system malformation that occurs usually in children. Most common site being cervicofacial region followed by axilla; the cases in the chest wall are very rare. We report a case of male infant with cystic lymphangioma occurring at an unusual site- over the sternum.

Atypical Localization

Lymphangioma is a benign congenital malformation. The extremely rare and atypical localization of a lymphangioma in the chest wall was the real motive for the present case study. A 5-year-old boy was admitted to the Emergency Department of the 1st Department of Pediatric Surgery, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, due to the presence of a mildly painful swelling in the left lateral chest wall, which was first noticed three months ago, after a blunt injury during sport. Physical examination revealed the presence of a palpable, spherical, painful, nut-sized subcutaneous lesion in the left lateral chest wall, respectively, with the anterior axillary line, at the height of the 6th to 7th intercostal space. Presence of ecchymosis on the overlying skin was also noticed. During palpation, we did not notice fluctuation, while transillumination was not feasible. Performance of ultrasonography, including Doppler color flow imaging, followed, depicting a subcutaneous cystic lesion, 2.1⁎3.2 cm in dimensions, without extension to the thoracic cavity. Scheduled surgical excision of the lesion was decided. Histopathological examination documented the diagnosis of cystic lymphangioma. Patient is still followed up on a 6-month basis. He remains asymptomatic, after 2 years, without indication of relapse.

Lymphatic malformations are low-flow vascular anomalies of the lymphatic system that occur in one out of 2-4,000 live births. They may be classified as macrocystic (diameter > 1 cm), microcystic (diameter < 1 cm) or mixed. Lymphatic malformations that are not prenatally diagnosed are typically diagnosed at birth or in early childhood. The clinical presentation can be quite variable, ranging from a focal area with minimal swelling to large involvement with compromise of adjacent structures. Up to 75% of lymphatic malformations are found in the cervicofacial region and their presence in the aerodigestive tract can lead to life-threatening airway obstruction. Lesions can grow slowly or rapidly and suddenly due to infection, trauma, bleeding or hormone level changes. The paper describes the case of a 9-month-old male infant with cervical macrocystic lymphangioma appeared during a febrile airway infection and misdiagnosed with bacterial lymphadenitis.

AbstractCerebro-costo-mandibular syndrome (CCMS) is a rare syndrome characterized by posterior rib ossification gaps and orofacial anomalies. Posterior rib ossification gaps are the hallmark of the disease and mimic multiple old rib fractures. The condition is caused by heterogeneous mutation of Small Nuclear Ribonucleoprotein Polypeptides B and B1 (SNRPB) gene on the chromosome 20p13. There is scanty literature regarding the extent of bony changes and the associated pulmonary-airway abnormalities on computed tomography (CT) imaging. In this case report, we presented a detailed CT imaging features of a case of CCMS in a male infant. This report highlighted on the nature of osseous defects, structural changes in the chest wall, airways, lungs, and a wide range of spinal anomalies. Some of our observations regarding the changes in the airway and chest wall are likely to have bearing on evaluating the prognosis and the need for respiratory support.

Background: Cystic hygroma (cystic lymphangioma) is a malformation of the lymphatic system. It is rare in adults and trauma may be the cause in some cases. Surgical and non-surgical treatment methods have been described in the management of cystic hygroma. Case Report: A 38-year-old woman, known case of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), presented a huge cystic formation in the posterior aspect of her thigh following trauma. We treated the patient using a combination of three treatment methods including surgical excision, intra-cavity bleomycin injection, and post-operative use of compression pants. Conclusion: Huge post-traumatic cystic hygroma in adults is rare. By the combination of the above three therapeutic regimens, there was no cystic lesion recurrence after eight months.

Lymphangioma is a rare congenital malformation of the lymphatic system that occur in 1 per 6000 live births. The most common site of lymphangioma is the neck (also named cystic hygroma), accounting for 75% of the cases, and it is strongly related to aneuploidies. Axillary location is very rare and appears not to be associated with chromosomal abnormalities. Tumor growth, fetal anemia secondary to intralesional bleeding, hydrops fetalis and shoulder dystocia are possible obstetric complications of this condition. The prognosis is generally good in the absence of abnormal karyotype, fetal hydrops or extension of the lymphangioma to adjacent tissues. Surgical excision or sclerotherapy are the main treatment choices. The authors present a case of a right fetal axillary lymphangioma and review the literature.

Retroperitoneal Lymphangioma

A lymphangioma is a benign proliferation of lymph vessels, producing fluid-filled cysts that result from a blockage of the lymphatic system. The incidence of abdominal lymphangiomas is unknown; however they account for from 3% to 9.2% of all pediatric lymphangiomas, with retroperitoneal lymphangioma representing less than 1% of abdominal lymphangiomas. Due to rarity, preoperative diagnosis is often difficult.

We present a case of cystic lymphangioma of the mediastinum complicated with situs inversus totalis. The 70-year-old man underwent thoracoscopic resection of a mediastinal cystic tumor, which was diagnosed as cystic lymphangioma. Cystic lymphangiomas are congenital cystic abnormalities of the lymphatic system. The head and neck area is often involved while the mediastinum is rarely affected. The rarity of this case is further attributed to the coexistence of situs inversus totalis.

AbstractObjectivesCongenital hemangiomas have been well documented, but there remains relatively little information regarding the workup of large or atypical vascular lesions in neonates beyond history and physical exam.Case presentationWe report a case of a large congenital hemangioma overlying the anterior chest wall of a term male infant. Imaging by ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) scan confirmed the diagnosis of congenital hemangioma, either non-involuting or rapidly-involuting type. Further imaging supported a plan to manage this case conservatively.ConclusionsWe present a case of a giant congenital hemangioma overlying most of the chest wall of a term infant and describe the findings on physical exam and imaging, as well as a work-up of similar lesions.
