Abdominal lymphangioma represents an uncommon congenital anomaly. Herein, we describe an unusual case, which on routine antenatal ultrasonography masqueraded as isolated ascites. Subsequent fetal MRI at 27 weeks' gestation implemented antenatal assessment of the lesion, prompting further investigations and straightforward postnatal treatment. Fetal MRI represents a valuable adjunct to antenatal ultrasonography for the evaluation of cystic abdominal masses.
腹部淋巴管瘤是一种罕见的先天性异常。在此,我们描述了一个不寻常的病例,该病例在常规产前超声检查中表现为孤立性腹水。随后在 27 孕周进行胎儿 MRI 检查,对病变进行了产前评估,提示进一步检查和简单的产后治疗。胎儿 MRI 是产前超声检查评估囊性腹部肿块的一种有价值的辅助手段。
