Solitary cystic lymphangioma

Abstract

A young girl had a large isolated and localized multicystic lesion of the right humerus, which was revealed by a pathological fracture. MRI and bone biopsy showed liquid-filled bone cysts. The final diagnosis was localized cystic lymphangiomatosis.

Nontraumatic dens fracture in a patient with lymphangiomatosis: radiographic, CT, and MR findings

“…There is never any periosteal reaction, calcification, or soft tissue mass. However, radiographically, the differential diagnosis includes metastases (neuroblastoma), histiocytosis X, fibrous dysplasia, lymphoma, and Gaucher's disease [6,7,8]. In our patient the bone radiograph findings were in line with previous reports mentioned above.…”

“…In our patient the bone radiograph findings were in line with previous reports mentioned above. A 99 m Tc MDP bone scan may or may not show increased activity in lesions caused by lymphangiomatosis of bone [3,6,9].…”

“…However, the CT and MRI findings of histiocytosis X are completely different, frequently showing more irregular contours, with some evidence of bone destruction, periosteal reaction, and soft tissue lesions. There is never any periosteal reaction or soft tissue mass in lesions caused by lymphangiomatosis of bone [6,7].…”

Lymphangioma of the Clivus

“…Surgical removal leads to immediate improvement of the symptoms. ment are the tibia, humerus, ilium, cranium, mandible, and vertebra (14).…”

Giant cystic lymphangioma cavernousum of lower limb with overlying lymphangioma circumscriptum

“…They may occur in the skin, subcutaneous tissue, soft tissue or bone and are frequently noted at birth or early in life [1][2][3][4]. Lymphangiomas arising outside of the cervicofacial, thoracic, and abdominal areas are extremely rare [5][6][7].…”
