ABSTRACT
Objective:
To analyze the clinical features, treatment efficacy and prognosis of cavernous lymphangioma.Methods:
The clinical manifestations, laboratory findings, imaging examinations and treatment of 8 patients with pathology-diagnosed cavernous lymphangioma admitted in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 1990 to July 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:
All the patients were female. The onset age ranged from 0 to 58 years, with a course of 24 (5,78) months. There were 2 cases of abdominal mass, 2 cases of axillary mass, 1 case of neck mass, 1 case of inguinal mass, 1 case of mandibular mass and 1 case of pleural and peritoneal effusion. Seven cases had adult onset and 1 case had congenital onset. Two patients had had history of surgery adjacent to lesion sites. Contrast-enhanced CT scan showed a low-density round mass with no significant enhancement in 5 patients. Seven patients underwent complete resection of the mass, 1 patient received partial resection and intervention with medium-chain fatty-acid diet. During the follow-up, 4 patients were stable after 3.5 (1.3-17.8) years, while 2 patients relapsed 1 and 13 year after surgery, respectively. Additionally, one patient was diagnosed with Bowen disease.Conclusion:
Cavernous lymphangioma can be congenital or acquired and usually occurs in female. The body mass is the common clinical manifestation; and surgery is the most common treatment, but it is prone to relapse and requires long-term follow-up.
