  • Surgical excision was performed without any vital structure damage and the specimen re- ceived was soft, large cystic sac with histologic pattern distinctive of cystic hygroma. (scirp.org)
  • Over 95% of lymphangiomas are found in the head, neck, and axillary regions. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Lymphangioma tissue samples were obtained from two young patients suffering from lymphangioma in the axillary and upper arm region. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Lymph nodal masses were the commonest primary RP space mass while renal masses accounted for the majority of secondary RP masses in our study. (waocp.com)
  • Relevant past medical history included a previously excised cystic hygroma from her right neck when she was aged 2 years. (hindawi.com)
  • Preoperative clinical photographs of previously excised cystic hygroma in the right neck. (hindawi.com)
  • There were no palpable lymph nodes in the neck and no other swellings evident elsewhere. (hindawi.com)
  • Lymphangiomas are uncommon congenital malformations that present mainly in the head, neck, and axillar regions in pediatric patients. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Ultrasound examination of the mass was first performed and showed an irregular multi-loculated compressible cystic lesion of 5 × 3 cm in size with thin septa internal debris ( Figure 1 ), not vascularized on colour-Doppler evaluation ( Figure 2 ), located in the left anterior cervical region and extending to the posterior triangle of neck, suggestive of cystic hygroma. (scirp.org)
  • Small, enlarged nodes were also seen in the upper part of the neck with reactive appearance on US. (scirp.org)
  • From MRI examination the lesion was determined to be located on the left half of the neck in the supra- and infra-hyoid region, extended in the posterior cervical triangle and surrounding the internal jugular vein, with typical, not contrasted, multi-cystic pattern characterize by low signal intensity on T1-weighted images and high hyperintensity on T2-weighted images ( Figure 3 ). (scirp.org)
  • High linear frequency (10 - 15 MHz) ultrasound probe on transverse cranial left side scan of the neck with colour - Doppler module shows a hypoechoic cystic lesion (C) with an absence of identifiable flow signal. (scirp.org)
  • Axial TSE (a) and coronal STIR (b) T2-weighted MRI images show a hyperintense multiloculated cystic mass (C) located on the left half of the neck in the infra-suprahyoid region, extending into the retropharyngeal cavity to the posterior cervical triangle with not significant compression effect. (scirp.org)
  • Diagnosis of lymphangioma was made and of the potential management options available active monitoring was favoured due to the patient's age. (hindawi.com)
  • Mucinous carcinomatosis is the most likely diagnosis of cystic peritoneal masses. (radiologyassistant.nl)
  • A diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma in the left lingular was made by transbronchial cytology and the left upper lobectomy with lymph node dissection was performed. (bvsalud.org)
  • Secondly we have to realize that any loculated fluid collection due to infection, i.e. abscess or as a result of pancreatitis, perforation or bile peritonitis can simulate a cystic mass. (radiologyassistant.nl)
  • A 40-year-old woman with lymphangiomatosis also had an intrathoracic lymphangioma infection. (bvsalud.org)
  • Specific areas of cooperation between the two fields include fine needle aspiration cytology, breast cancer control programme, sentinel lymph node localization, cases of adenocarcinoma of the lung with specific signatures, and interstitial lung disease. (atpjournal.org)
  • Lymphangioma was also in the list of provisional diagnoses. (hindawi.com)
  • Lastly we have to know which cystic masses are common and look for specific features of these masses. (radiologyassistant.nl)
  • The aim of this case report is to present the clinical and imaging findings of an infant with cervical mixed cystic lymphangioma (also known as cystic hygroma), focusing on the rule of the ultrasound (US) and its diagnostic appearance. (scirp.org)
  • Importantly, the molecular profile of LECs from diseased tissues, such as lymphangiomas, has not been characterized yet, which is an important diagnostic step toward treatment of the disease. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Therefore, we compared a variety of blood and lymph endothelial markers by using commercially available antibodies, commercially available primary cells and LECs from two lymphangioma patients. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Because of the rarity of both of these conditions separately, this case report describes the association of tongue lymphangioma with a previously excised cystic hygroma in the same patient. (hindawi.com)
  • Especially fluid collections in the lesser sac can simulate a cystic mass. (radiologyassistant.nl)
  • Ultrasound is considered as being the first level study to investigate a suspected mass suggestive of cystic hygroma. (scirp.org)
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) with contrast agent administration was also made to evaluate the extent of the lesion and details of the internal cystic structure to rule out malignancy. (scirp.org)
  • LECs from foreskin and lymphangioma had an almost identical pattern of lymphendothelial markers such as podoplanin, Prox1, reelin, cMaf and integrin-α1 and -α9. (biomedcentral.com)
  • We addressed this problem by profiling LECs from normal dermis and two children suffering from lymphangioma, and also compared them with blood endothelial cells (BECs) from umbilical vein, aorta and myometrial microvessels. (biomedcentral.com)
  • In the present study we investigated if LECs from different sources possess stable markers, and if primary cells from lymphangiomas overexpress molecules involved in the VEGF signalling pathway. (biomedcentral.com)
