Lymphangiomas are congenital malformations of the lymphatic system composed of dilated endothelial lined spaces of varying sizes containing lymph. Hepatic lymphangioma is a rare finding, exclusively present in children and adolescents. Most reported cases occur as part of diffuse lymphangiomatosis. Solitary lymphangioma of the liver in infants is extremely rare. This report describes a case of unilocular, solitary hepatic lymphangioma in a 22-day-old infant.
淋巴管瘤是淋巴系统的先天性畸形,由大小各异、内衬内皮细胞且含有淋巴液的扩张间隙组成。肝淋巴管瘤是一种罕见的病变,仅见于儿童和青少年。大多数报道的病例是弥漫性淋巴管瘤病的一部分。婴儿期肝脏的孤立性淋巴管瘤极为罕见。本报告描述了一例22日龄婴儿的单房性、孤立性肝淋巴管瘤病例。
