lymphangioma/vomiting

We describe a case report of a 6-year-old boy with a 4-year history of recurrent vomiting with a cyclical vomiting pattern. Although initially labelled with and treated for Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome the cause was subsequently found to be an enteric duplication associated with cystic lymphangioma,

Lymphangioma is a benign malformation of the lymphatic system. It usually affects the neck, head, and rarely, the abdomen. Volvulus is a serious condition, which occurs as a result of bowel twisting around itself or around the mesentery leading to severe consequences such as obstruction. The most

A rare case of cecal lymphangioma which presented as intussusception was reported. The patient was a 28-year-old female who suffered from vomiting, abdominal pain and mass for 6 days. Ultrasonography revealed a multilocular cyst that measured 7 cm in maximal diameter, and an adjacent target-like

Mesenteric cysts are rare and are associated with heterogeneous pathological conditions. We describe an extraordinary case of mesenteric calcified cystic lymphangioma in a 10-year-old boy. To the best of our knowledge only 6 mesenteric calcified cystic lymphangioma have been reported. The patient

Abdominal lymphangiomas are usually classified together with mesenteric cysts. However, they differ by location, histology, and potential for recurrence, and should be considered a separate clinical entity. Thirteen children, aged 2 weeks to 11 years (mean, 5.8 years), with abdominal lymphangiomas

BACKGROUND Lymphangiomas of the gallbladder in adults are extremely rare with only 10 cases published worldwide to date. METHODS We herein report a case of a 26-year-old male who presented with abdominal right upper quadrant pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. An ultrasound, computer tomography

We retrospectively analyzed six cases of abdominal cystic lymphangiomas (CL), who had undergone surgical resection. These cases had been evaluated by several modalities: ultrasonography (US), computed tomography (CT), angiography and fine needle aspiration. No age predilection was found. All

A 32-year-old man who complained of recurrent nauseat and vomiting was admitted to our hospital. The contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a cystic mass located behind the duodenum which was suggestive of lymphangioma. Laparoscopic resection of the retroperitoneal mass was successfully

Orbital lymphangioma is a lymphatic system lesion that commonly presents in childhood. Management of these lesions is complex. Sclerotherapy is a therapy used to treat and shrink lesions prior to or as an alternative to surgery. We present three cases of orbital lymphangioma that were treated with

OBJECTIVE To describe the characteristics of lymphangioma reporting a pediatric case of small bowel mesentery location, showing ultrasound-elastosonographic and computed tomography findings. METHODS A 7-year-old girl suffering from vomiting and abdominal pain underwent chest-abdomen radiography and

In children, lymphangiomas are extremely rare pathologic entities that are characterized by unusual locations. The mesenteric localization is extremely rare in children, and the clinical signs usually mimic an acute abdominal syndrome. For most of the cases, their diagnosis is established by the

A 73-year-old man presented with a 5-month history of intermittent nausea, vomiting, central abdominal discomfort and a 17-pound weight loss over the past year. Laboratory testing, including a complete blood count with differential, liver function testing, amylase and lipase studies were normal. A

A cystic lymphangioma arising within the abdomen is a rare entity in children. It may present with an abdominal mass and symptoms of abdominal pain, vomiting, and anorexia. These nonspecific clinical symptoms are often attributed to more common acute pediatric conditions. In this report, we describe

Cystic lymphangiomas are rare benign tumors. Most frequently occurring in children and involving the neck or axilla, these tumors are much less common in adults and very rarely involve the abdomen. The known congenital and acquired (traumatic) etiologies result in failure of the lymphatic channels
