Hemangiolymphangioma (HL) is an extremely rare malformation of both the lymphatic and blood vessels. We present a case of fetal axillary HL that was diagnosed sonographically at 36 weeks' gestation. Sonographic examination revealed a large, multilocular, cystic mass consistent with lymphangioma. At birth, a giant hemangioma was noticed involving the right hemitruncus. Based on clinical and sonographic findings, a diagnosis of HL was made. Surgical treatment was considered but was refused by the parents. The neonate died at 14 days of age, possibly due to an intralesional hemorrhage.

Introduction: Lymphangiomas are very rare benign tumors of the lymphatic system, appearing as uniseptate or multiseptate cystic masses, which are usually located in the cervical or axillary area. Postnatal outcome depends on the size and location of the lesion. An increasing number of such congenital abnormalities are detected on routine conventional prenatal ultrasonography. Although prenatal evaluation for the prognosis of fetal lymphangioma has been based on two‐dimensional ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging may help in assessing the extent of a lesion. Isolated lymphangiomas generally have a favourable prognosis and sclerotherapy or surgical resection is effective in most of the cases. Case presentation: We present two cases of fetal axillary lymphangioma. In the first case, the lymphangioma was diagnosed antenatally, so parents were comprehensively counselled and post natal follow up was organised at a tertiary hospital. The second case remained undiagnosed until birth. This caused significant distress to both the parents and clinicians, especially after a coincident traumatic delivery. Conclusion: Both these cases emphasise that early diagnosis of fetal lymphangioma is critical and a combination of ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging can facilitate detection of lesions which are relatively limited and accessible to therapy in utero. This would also enable clinicians to perform a karyotype and comprehensively consult parents regarding the treatment and delivery options as well as outcome of the pregnancy.

Three-dimensional, multiplanar sonography, using a volume data set acquired with a 3D probe, has revolutionized ultrasonographic imaging and takes sonographers to a new perception of the fetus in 3 dimensions. Real time scanning, until the late nineties only possible in B-mode, can now be performed in 3D with up to 40 frames/sec. Fetal neurology emerged as a new perinatal research field with the 4D visualization of fetal behavior. Doppler ultrasound, diversified and refined from continuous wave and pulsed Doppler to Color – and Power Doppler, when added to 3D sonography, creates fascinating options of noninvasive fetal vascular mapping (sonoangiography) and vascular assessment of placenta. The diagnostic and demonstrative potential of an acquired 3D volume data set can be maxed with the help of postprocessing and rendering software. After storage, the evaluation of fetal 3D data sets can happen without the patient, with the option of specialist consultation, using telemedicine. In the article, the new 3D “modes” like surface rendering, maximum mode, 3D Color and Power Doppler, STIC, volume rendering, and glass body rendering, are described and illustrated in their display of normal fetal anatomy.
