Cystic Lymphangioma in the Chest Wall of the Child: A case report / 대한흉부외과학회지

ABSTRACT

Lymphangioma is a developmental anomaly that is known to occur in the neck and axilla, and only rarely in the mediastinum, retroperitoneum, groin and pelvis. An isolated chest wall lymphangioma is a rare benign neoplasm. In case of large sized lymphangioma, surgical excision is preferably recommended as the treatment of choice. We operated on a three-year old female for excision of chest wall. In pathologic diagnosis, it diagnosed the mass as chest wall lymphangioma.
