Lymphangiectasia results from acquired dilation of lymphatic vessels. Areas of skin affected by obstruction or destruction of lymphatic drainage are said to be prone to the development of lymphangiectasia. Cirrhosis is a cause of alterations of lymph flow.
Case report.
We report a case of acquired, late-onset, lymphangiectasia associated with alcoholic hepatic cirrhosis. Lesions were scattered over the right, lower, anterior abdominal wall, a region that is drained by a common group of lymphatic vessels that were probably disordered.
We think that this is the first reported case of lymphangiectasia associated with altered lymph flow in cirrhosis and ascites.
淋巴管扩张症是由后天性淋巴管扩张引起的。受淋巴引流阻塞或破坏影响的皮肤区域据说容易发生淋巴管扩张症。肝硬化是淋巴液流动改变的一个原因。
病例报告。
我们报告一例与酒精性肝硬化相关的后天性迟发性淋巴管扩张症病例。病变散在于右下腹前壁,该区域由一组可能紊乱的共同淋巴管引流。
我们认为这是首例报道的与肝硬化和腹水时淋巴液流动改变相关的淋巴管扩张症病例。
