Lymphangiomatosis is a rare, benign, hyperproliferative hamartoma composed of dilated lymphatic vessels. Cystic lymphangioma (CL) in the chest wall in an adult patient is rare, but we focus on this type of patient in our present case study. A 54-year-old female patient with a painless mass in her chest wall went without treatment for two years following diagnosis. After consenting to treatment, Doppler color flow imaging (DCFI), chest CT, and MRI revealed a cystic lesion with multiple thin septula in the left chest. Surgical resection was performed, and histopathological examination identified a cystic lymphangioma. The patient did not experience recurrence during the follow-up period.
淋巴管瘤病是一种罕见的良性、增生性错构瘤,由扩张的淋巴管组成。成人胸壁囊性淋巴管瘤(CL)较为罕见,但我们在本病例研究中关注的是这类患者。一位 54 岁女性患者在诊断后两年胸部无痛性肿块未予治疗。在同意治疗后,多普勒彩色血流成像(DCFI)、胸部 CT 和 MRI 显示左胸有一个囊性病变,有多个薄分隔。进行了手术切除,组织病理学检查显示为囊性淋巴管瘤。患者在随访期间未出现复发。
