“…Proposed theories have suggested an inherited abnormality, an embryologic origin, a traumatic origin, or a true neoplasm. 31,35,[55][56][57][58][59] Our findings, especially in light of the young age of patients at initial presentation, may support the notion of a congenital malformation, but there are insufficient data to draw a conclusion. Oral contraceptives, hyperprogesteronemia, and pregnancy seem to promote the growth of lymphangiomas, 56 perhaps explaining partially the female predominance of pancreatic lymphangiomas.…”

“…Trauma and inflammation are additional factors implicated in the formation of these rare entities (7). Mesenteric cysts have been reported from the duodenal to the rectal mesentery but are most commonly located in the ileal mesentery (8). The cyst of our patient was located in the mesentery of the sigmoid colon.…”

“…In order to prevent recurrence, thorough radical resection may be required during surgery. In the English literature, the reported recurrence rates were in the range of 10-27% upon complete removal of the lesions, while the recurrence rates were 50-100% in cases where the lesions were partially removed (4,52). The extend of surgical resection depends mainly on the anatomical location and complexity of the tumor (3,4,12,52).…”

Abstract. Hemolymphangioma is a malformation of the lymphatic and blood vessels. To the best of our knowledge, only a limited number of hemolymphangioma cases have been reported in the literature thus far, with no cases developed in the waist region. The present study reported the case of a 17-year-old male patient with hemolymphangioma growing on the waist, presented with back pain for four months. Upon physical examination, the lesion was identified to be oval in shape, soft and compressible, with mild tenderness. No abnormalities were detected in the results of laboratory examinations. However, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan revealed a tumor with low signal intensity on T1-weighted imaging (WI) and high signal intensity on T2-WI. The mass was successfully removed during surgery. During the seven-month follow-up period, the patient was asymptomatic with no evidence of recurrence. The present study discussed the imaging findings and pathological features of this uncommon case and reviewed the relevant literature. IntroductionLymphangioma, also known as angioma lymphaticum, is a congenital malformation of the vascular system, comprising newly-formed lymph spaces and channels (1). Landing and Farber (2) classified this benign malformation in four categories, including capillary, cavernous and cystic (hygroma) lymphangioma, and hemolymphangioma, which is a combination of hemangioma and lymphangioma.Hemolymphangioma is a congenital malformation that may be asymptomatic for a long period of time (3). This lesion is typically considered to be a benign and noninvasive disorder, characterized by the presence of dilated lymphatic spaces, extravasation of red blood cells, hemosiderin deposition and fibrosis (4). Hemolymphangioma formation may be due to venolymphatic communication obstruction between the dysembrioplastic vascular tissue and systemic circulation (5).The incidence of hemolymphangioma is 1.2-2.8 per 1,000 newborn infants (6). Hemolymphangioma has been previously detected at the pancreas (5,7-12), spleen (13-16), stomach (1,17), rectum (18), mediastinum (19-21), chest wall (22-25), small intestine (26), extremities (3,27,28), cervix (29,30), pericardium (31), oral region (32), esophagus (33), axilla (34), retroperitoneal space (35,36), adrenal gland (37), abdomen (38), duodenum (4) and hepatica (39), as well as on the tongue (40,41) and orbit (42,43). However, to the best of our knowledge, no studies have reported this type of tumor in the waist region, as determined by a review of the medical literature until June 2014 using the PubMed database (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed; accessed on 9th June 2014). Complete excision is considered the optimal treatment for hemolymphangioma, which exhibits a low recurrence rate. Non-surgical treatments are also used, including aspiration and drainage, cryotherapy, injection of sclerotic agents, laser therapy and radiotherapy, however, to date, the outcomes of such treatments have been unsatisfactory (3,22). In cases of tumor recurrence, conservative treatmen...
