Lymphangiomas develop in the head, neck, and axilla of patients <2 years old in more than 90% of cases. They are rarely reported in adults.
Here, we report on a 37-year-old woman with a firm, hypoechoic 3.3 cm mass in the right upper, outer quadrant of the breast with discomfort, and swelling of the right axillary region.
She underwent wide excision of the right breast and axillary lesion and the lesion pathologic finding is lymphangioma of the breast.
She was in good condition with no signs of postoperative complications and no evidence of recurrence at 6 months postsurgery.
Despite the rarity of breast cystic lymphangioma, its evaluation should be considered for prompt diagnosis and definitive treatment to prevent recurrence and complications. Furthermore, this is the first case of concomitant lymphangioma of the breast parenchyma and axillary region.
超过90%的淋巴管瘤病例发生于2岁以下患者的头颈部和腋窝。成人病例鲜有报道。
在此，我们报告一名37岁女性，其右乳外上象限有一个3.3厘米的实性低回声肿块，伴有不适，右腋窝区域肿胀。
她接受了右乳及腋窝病变的广泛切除，病变病理检查结果为乳腺淋巴管瘤。
术后6个月，她状况良好，无术后并发症迹象，也无复发证据。
尽管乳腺囊性淋巴管瘤罕见，但仍应考虑对其进行评估，以便及时诊断和明确治疗，防止复发和并发症。此外，这是首例乳腺实质和腋窝区域同时发生淋巴管瘤的病例。
