“…the tomography of our patient detected the cystic nature and also revealed that the tumor did not reach the depth of the pectoral muscle. The boundaries of the mass and its relationship with the surrounding tissues can be monitorized through magnetic resonance imaging (6). Cellularity can be examined with biopsy; however, the histopathologic examination of mass leads to definite diagnosis.…”

“…The tumor is a rare benign congenital malformation containing focal proliferations of well-differentiated lymphatic tissues that present as multicystic or sponge-like accumulations. Most tumors appear as a swelling in the head, neck, or axilla [3,4]. About 1% of all lymphangiomas are confined to the chest wall, most of which are found in the mediastinum, accounting for 0.7~4.5% of all mediastinal tumors [3,4].…”

Lymphangioma is a congenital malformation of the lymphatic system and is thought to result from the failure of the lymphatic system to connect with the venous system. Lymphangioma of the chest wall is a very rare disease entity, and only a few cases have ever been documented in the literature. To the best of our knowledge, there have been few cases of recurrent cavernous lymphangioma after surgical excision of a cystic hygroma on the same side of the chest wall. Here, we report a case of a cavernous lymphangioma of the chest wall in a patient who had undergone surgical excision of a cystic hygroma 19 years earlier.

“…Des localisations exceptionnelles ont été rapportées dans la littérature ; région glutéale [9], paroi thoracique [10,11], diaphragme [12] et muscle masseter [13]. À ce jour, seul un cas de lymphangiome kystique du membre supérieur a été rapporté [14] et notre patient est à notre connaissance le premier cas décrit du muscle quadriceps (consultation par Medline des mots clés « hygroma kystique » ou « muscle squelettique »).…”
