  • Title: [Magnetic resonance tomographic characteristics and a follow-up observation in a case of cystic lymphangiomas in the left lower extremity, the retroperitoneum and the mediastinum].
    Author: Muhle C, Asmus R, Spielmann RP.
    Journal: Aktuelle Radiol; 1992 May; 2(3):159-61. PubMed ID: 1610932.
    Abstract:
    Lymphangiomas are rare benign tumours of the lymphatic system and are mostly manifested in the ENT region. The authors describe a rare localisation of this disease originating in the left lower extremity and extending into the retroperitoneum and mediastinum in a 16-year old female patient. MR enabled the diagnosis and the exact determination of the extent. MR follow-up showed 1 1/2 years after the diagnosis that the lymphangiomas and the lymphangioma in the left thigh had reduced and that the proliferation of lymphangioma in the retroperitoneum and mediastinum had stagnated.
