Congenital Calvarial Lymphangioma: A Case Report
Journal Title: Meandros Medical and Dental Journal - Year 2018, Vol 19, Issue 1
Abstract
Calvarial cavernous lymphangioma is an extremely rare disease entity with only a few reports. Lymphangiomas are frequently encountered neck and long bone but it may also seen in many part of the body and many tips of the lymphangioma have been identified. Several treatment options have been defined but local recurrence is still a big problem. In the pediatric population, postoperative skull defects may frequently require cranioplasty. Allografts or autologous bone grafts may be used for cranioplasty. A four-month-old male patient was hospitalized due to a painless head mass, which was revealed as a soft tissue lesion located in calvarial diploe or extracranial lesion with outer calcified shell on the cranial computed tomography. The patient underwent surgical resection, pathologically confirmed as cavernous lymphangioma. We report this case with imaging findings and review of literatures.
