Abstract

Primary thoracic lymphatic diseases are both infrequent and probably under diagnosed. Current classification distinguishes lymphangioma (solitary tumor), lymphangiectasies (dilatation), lymphangiomatosis (proliferation) and lymphatic dysplasia syndrome (dysplasia). Classifications' efforts and radiologic progress may lead to an improvement in the management of these patients.
