    Abstract:
    A 70-year-old woman developed lymphangioma following surgery for cervical cancer and subsequent radiotherapy. The operation was performed 12 years ago, and a swelling of lower extremities was recognized 8 years ago. Her lower extremities became greatly edematous, and leakage of lymph to the groin was observed. We performed bilateral lumbar sympathetic ganglion block. After the block, lymphedema was relieved dramatically, and the leakage of the lymph to the groin was gradually reduced. We conclude that lumbar sympathetic ganglion block may be very effective in some patients with acquired lymphangioma.
