lymphangioma/triglyceride

The presence of chylous fluid with high triglycerides levels on endoscopic ultrasound- (EUS-) guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) is very pathognomonic for the diagnosis of cystic lymphangiomas of the pancreas. In our case report the puncture of the pancreatic cyst showed a typical milky fluid

We report a 40-year-old woman with retroperitoneal multiple cystic lymphangioma. Multiple cystic lesions were found on both sides of the aorta in the retroperitoneal and right pelvic spaces. These thin-walled cysts gradually increased in size leading to left hydronephrosis and dilatation of the

Generalized lymphangiomatosis is an extremely rare condition with clinical features depending on the extent of involvement. We report a newborn infant with chylothorax and cutaneous lymphangiomas of unique clinical presentation. The baby required artificial ventilation, pleural drainage, low

BACKGROUND Lymphatic malformations (LMs) are rare and benign anomalies resulting from the defective embryological development of the primordial lymphatic structures. Due to their permeative growth throughout all tissue layers, treatment is often challenging. Small asymptomatic lesions can be

Isolated chylopericardium due to cystic lymphangioma of pericardium is a rare entity. We report a case of asymptomatic chylopericardium in a young male who presented with cardiomegaly. Echocardiography revealed massive pericardial effusion without tamponade. Pericardiocentesis yielded 1.25 L of

Chyluria results from an abnormal connection between lymphatic bed and urinary tract, causing lymph leakage into the urine. The clinical picture often begins with the appearance of cloudy, milky urines accompanied by monolateral flank pain, malnutrition, weight loss and weakness. We report a case of

Chylopericardium is a rare entity that may be congenital in origin or secondary to surgical trauma, mediastinal lymphangiomas-hygromas, or radiation. Current treatment progresses from dietary medium-chain triglycerides and pericardiocentesis, to pericardial drainage, to thoracotomy with
