Mediastinal lymphangioma is rare in adults, and there are few reports of their computed tomographic (CT) findings. We present the CT results in three cases of mediastinal lymphangioma. One showed a well-defined, multilocular, water-density mass enveloping mediastinal structures, without their displacement or compression; one presented as a well-defined, homogeneous, water-density mass in the right paratracheal region; and one was associated with hemorrhage into cysts and a significant increase in size over 5 years. CT is useful for diagnosis and evaluation of the extent or contents of mediastinal lymphangiomas.
纵隔淋巴管瘤在成人中罕见，关于其计算机断层扫描（CT）表现的报道较少。我们展示了3例纵隔淋巴管瘤的CT结果。1例表现为边界清晰的多房性水样密度肿块，包绕纵隔结构，未引起纵隔结构移位或受压；1例表现为右气管旁区域边界清晰的均匀水样密度肿块；1例伴有囊肿内出血，5年间体积显著增大。CT有助于纵隔淋巴管瘤的诊断以及对其范围和内容物的评估。
