Hemolymphangioma of Neck– A Diagnostic Dilemma
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
Lymphangiomas are rare congenital or acquired lesions that occur mostly in the head and neck region. Some part of lymphatic system gets sequestered during embryonic development and mostly gets resorbed but in some cases, they dilate and form sac like structures. These are of 3 types mostly – capillary, cavernous and cystic hygroma. There exists a 4th variant also called hemolymphangioma where the sac like dilatations will be filled with blood which may be due to infection or trauma. Also a sudden increase in their size may occur due to infection or trauma. Here, we present the rare variety of lymphangioma i.e., hemolymphangioma in a 7 year old girl where a diagnostic dilemma existed during clinical evaluation.
