Cystic lymphangioma is a congenital cystic malformation that occurs mostly in children. While it is mainly found in the cervix, cases in the chest wall are very rare. We report a case of cystic lymphangioma found in the chest wall of a 2-month-old girl. The patient was noted to have a tumor in the left chest wall at birth. Since it gradually increased in size, the patient was referred to our department. Transillumination and ultrasonography showed a cystic lesion in the left chest. Surgical resection was performed in one step. Histopathological examination showed a cystic lymphangioma.
囊性淋巴管瘤是一种先天性囊性畸形,多见于儿童。虽然主要发生在颈部,但胸壁病例非常罕见。我们报告一例在一名2个月大女童胸壁发现的囊性淋巴管瘤。该患者出生时即被发现左胸壁有一肿物。由于其大小逐渐增大,遂转诊至我科。透光试验和超声检查显示左胸有一囊性病变。遂行一次性手术切除。组织病理学检查显示为囊性淋巴管瘤。
