Lymphatic malformation (LM) is a localized and rare benign anomaly of the lymphatic system. Surgery is the primary form of treatment, but total resection is difficult and generally not possible. The least invasive and most effective form of treatment is injection sclerotherapy with sclerosing agents. Here, we report a case of LM in a baby, detected at prenatal ultrasound. The aim of this report is to assess the importance of ultrasonography in the prenatal diagnosis, therapy and follow-up of LM's.
淋巴管畸形（LM）是一种局限性且罕见的淋巴系统良性异常。手术是主要的治疗方式，但完全切除困难且通常无法实现。侵入性最小且最有效的治疗方式是使用硬化剂进行注射硬化治疗。在此，我们报告一例产前超声检测出的婴儿淋巴管畸形病例。本报告的目的是评估超声检查在淋巴管畸形产前诊断、治疗及随访中的重要性。
