Site map Search: Home Vascular Lymphatic malformation Lymphatic malformations are a type of vascular naevus or birthmark . There are malformed dilated lymphatic vessels in the skin because the embryonic lymph sacs have not connected correctly with the lymphatic system. The reason why this happens is unknown. No particular race or sex is more at risk. They are non-cancerous. Lymphatic malformations are always present at birth, although they may become more obvious with time. They may vary in size from a small dot to occasionally involving a whole limb. Although lymph is a clear fluid, lymphatic malformations often appear red or blue because of the involvement of adjacent blood vessels. There are three main types of lymphatic malformation: Cystic hygroma Cavernous lymphangioma Lymphangioma circumscriptum Cystic hygroma Cystic hygroma is more common in some congenital disorders including Turner syndrome, hydrops fetalis, Down syndrome and fetal alcohol syndrome. So it may be advisable for babies with this type of lymphatic malformation to have chromosomal analysis performed.

LYMPHANGIOMA: OK-432 THERAPY AS AN ALTERNATIVE OK-432 therapy is an alternative non-surgical therapy for lymphangioma. OK-432 therapy was developed in Kyoto, Japan in 1986. OK-432 therapy has been accepted as a safe and effective therapy for lymphangiomas by most of pediatric surgeons in Japan since then. OK-432 therapy showed excellent or good results in 93% of cystic type lymphangioma and in 47% of cavernous type lymphangioma. OK-432 (Picibanil; Chugai Pharmaceutical Co, Tokyo, Japan) is, however, marketed only in Japan as a biological response modifier (BMR).

Home Cystic hygromas (lymphangiomas) are multiloculated cystic structures that are benign in nature. They form as the result of budding lymphatics and, thus, may occur anywhere in the body, although they are most frequently encountered in the neck (75%) and axilla (20%). Often the tongue, base of tongue, supraglottic larynx and mediastinum are involved, causing severe respiratory obstruction. .

The International Thoracic Teaching Resource: Congenital and Neoplastic Diseases Lymphangioma Jeffrey R. Galvin, M.D.; Michael P. D'Alessandro, M.D.; Yasayuki Kurihara, M.D. Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed Clinical Sx: Lymphangiomas account for 0.7-4.5% of mediastinal tumors, occurring most commonly in the superior and anterior mediastinum. While most of hygromas in the neck or lower face occur in the pediatric age group, isolated mediastinal lesions occur more commonly in adults. Most Patients are asymptomatic. A mass is first detected on routine chest radiograph. Pain may result from hemorrhage or infection in the cystic structures. Dyspnea may result from compression of major airway. Although lymphangioma is a benign tumor, its infiltrative tendency sometimes makes complete removal difficult and results in a high recurrence rate postoperatively. Etiology/Pathophysiology: Lymphangiomas are tumor like congenital anomalies or hamartomatous changes consisting of endothelial-lined spaces that can vary from capillary size to several centimeters in diameter. Pathology: A collection of dilated lymph vessels is noted. They may be supported by connective tissue stroma of variable thickness that contains lymphoid tissue, round cells, and smooth muscle. These lesions often contain a thin, clear or straw-colored fluid.

D'Alessandro, M.D. Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed Clinical Presentation: Fifty percent present in the first year and 90% present by two years of age. Usually the lesion is just cosmetically annoying but they can compress the airway and esophagus if they invade the mediastinum. The clinical course is characterized by intermittent or progressive growth, spontaneous regression, hemorrhage, and infection. Etiology/Pathophysiology: The lesion spreads and engulfs adjacent tissues without invading them. Pathology: Multilobular, multiloculated mass composed of cysts measuring 1 mm to 5 cm in diameter that contain serous fluid and are lined by lymphoendothelial tissue. Imaging Findings: Seventy five percent are in the neck, 20% in the axilla, and 5% in the retroperitoneum. Two to three percent of the cervical and axillary masses extend into the mediastinum.

Background This is a benign proliferation of lymph vessels. Unlike its cousin, the hemangioma, these tumors are rare. However, they are important to recognize because they may mimic many vascular tumors including angiosarcomas and Kaposi's sarcoma. These tumors may occur anywhere but usually present in the head and neck in children and infants. Visceral organs such as the lungs and gastrointestinal tract may also be involved. In the soft tissue, these tumors present as a soft fluctuant mass that varies in size.
