Fetal lymphangiomas can occur in many different anatomic locations, including the most commonly seen nuchal cystic hygroma.
A fetus at 18 weeks' gestation was found to have a massive right axillary hygroma. The fetal karyotype was normal. Serial ultrasound examinations indicated progressive enlargement, but no hydrops. At 32 weeks' gestation, a left axillary hygroma was also diagnosed. The patient underwent cesarean delivery.
Prenatal diagnosis of nuchal cystic hygromas has a high association with karyotypic abnormalities, hydrops, and fetal demise; however, this association may not apply to cystic lymphangiomas at other locations.
胎儿淋巴管瘤可发生于许多不同的解剖部位,包括最常见的颈部水囊瘤。
一名孕18周的胎儿被发现右侧腋窝有巨大水囊瘤。胎儿核型正常。系列超声检查显示其逐渐增大,但未出现水肿。孕32周时,又诊断出左侧腋窝有水囊瘤。患者接受了剖宫产。
产前诊断颈部水囊瘤与核型异常、水肿及胎儿死亡高度相关;然而,这种关联可能不适用于其他部位的囊性淋巴管瘤。
