RESUMEN
Fetal cystic lymphangioma is a developmental anomaly of the lymphatic system, which can occur in any part of the body, but most commonly in the neck and armpit. A case of fetal cystic lymphangioma located at the chest wall under the right armpit with a size of 21 mm×18 mm×16 mm is reported here. The mass was initially diagnosed by routine ultrasound examination at 21 gestational weeks. After the diagnosis, ultrasound was repeated every 4 weeks till 37 +4 gestational weeks. Over this period, the mass increased progressively to 101 mm×110 mm×95 mm. Ultrasound-guided intrauterine fetal cystic mass puncture and aspiration was performed 38 +4 weekss, and Bleomycin was injected into the cyst after operation and on day 42 after birth. During a follow-up to 10 months after birth, no obvious cystic mass was found at the right axillary chest wall of the child.
RESUMEN
Objective@#To investigate the safety and efficacy of pingyangmycin (bleomycin A5) sclerotherapy for early peripheral arteriovenous malformations (AVM).@*Methods@#Thirteen cases of early-stage [Schobinger clinical stage (Ⅰ/Ⅱ)] peripheral AVM patients (11 stage Ⅰ and 2 stage Ⅱ patients) aged between 3 months and 51 years were selected between January 2012 and May 2015. Pingyangmycin sclerotherapy injections were administered with B-scan ultrasonography or digital subtraction angiography positioning. All patients underwent relevant supplementary examinations before and after the procedure, and clinical evaluation was performed based on the improvement of the clinical symptoms of the patient and re-examination of lesion by imaging.@*Results@#A total of 88 injections were administered to the 13 patients with an average of 6.7 injections per patient, 3-6 years of follow-up. Based on clinical evaluation, 7 patients were generally cured, 3 patients had significant improvement, 2 patients had partial improvement, and 1 patient had no improvement. Seven patients had different levels of postoperative swelling that resolved on its own. No serious complications occurred.@*Conclusions@#Pingyangmycin sclerotherapy for treatment of early peripheral AVM was effective and had few complications. It can control further progression of pathological changes.
