Abstract

The diagnosis of lymphangiomatosis can often be made on clinical grounds with the aid of plain radiography. In children with intractable chylothorax computed tomography (CT) of the thorax may reveal the presence of a mediastinal mass but frequently in lymphangiomatosis will not demonstrate any specific features. Abdominal CT, on the other hand, may suggest the diagnosis by the association with intraabdominal lymphangioma.

摘要

淋巴管瘤病的诊断通常可在X线平片的辅助下依据临床症状做出。对于患有难治性乳糜胸的儿童，胸部计算机断层扫描（CT）可能会显示纵隔肿块的存在，但在淋巴管瘤病中通常不会显示任何特异性特征。另一方面，腹部CT可能通过与腹内淋巴管瘤相关联而提示诊断。
