The incidence of lymphangiomas in the gastrointestinal tract is low, particularly in the colon and rectum, and most cases are solitary. Lymphangiomatosis of the colon are encountered infrequently with only one report in the English literature, and polypectomy was performed for the diagnosis in that case report. However, trends in the diagnosis of lymphangiomatosis of colon have been changing since the development of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), and this case is the first in that lymphangiomatosis of the colon was diagnosed without invasive procedures. Here we describe the case of 31-yr-old woman with lymphangiomatosis of the colon with numerous polyposis-like appearing lesions diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasonography and a colonoscopy.
胃肠道淋巴管瘤的发病率较低,特别是在结肠和直肠,大多数病例为单发。结肠淋巴管瘤病很少见,英文文献中仅有一例报道,在该病例报告中,通过息肉切除术进行诊断。然而,自从内镜超声检查(EUS)发展以来,结肠淋巴管瘤病的诊断趋势一直在发生变化,本例是首例无需侵入性操作即可诊断的结肠淋巴管瘤病。在此,我们描述了一名 31 岁女性的病例,该女性患有结肠淋巴管瘤病,伴有许多息肉样外观的病变,通过内镜超声检查和结肠镜检查进行诊断。
