Linfangioma orbitário: relato de caso

Mesenteric cyst: abdominal lymphangioma

“…Palpation usually presents itself painless, smooth contour and well defined with mobility in the transverse direction and around its axis (Tillaux signal) [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] The increase in abdominal volume is slow, progressive and late noticed in some cases, mingling with ascites in about 18-20%. There are few reports of malignant mesenteric cysts, usually low-grade sarcomas.…”

“…Once diagnosed, all mesenteric cyst should be resected in order to avoid their complications [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] , recurrence, malignant transformation and possible complications (hemorrhage, torsion, obstruction, traumatic rupture and infection) [8][9][10][11][12] . Internal drainage may be an option when there is possibility of short bowel syndrome.…”

“…The highest incidence is between the third and fourth decades of life, with 75% of those diagnosed after ten years with a slight female predominance. The term lymphangioma is appropriately used when there is hemodynamic isolation, or the injury is not related to the blood system [10][11][12][13] . Lymphangiomas are a major group of so-called vascular hamartomas, which result from a failure in the evolutionary development of the vascular system, including lymphatic and/or arteries and veins 3 .…”

Conjunctival Lymphangioma: A Case Report and Brief Review of the Literature

“…Lymphangioma is an uncommon venolymphatic lesion, also defined as vascular hamartoma of lymphatic origin [1, 2]. The term lymphangioma is appropriately used when there is hemodynamic isolation, and so the injury is not related to arterial or venous system [1].…”
