“… 11 The abnormal venolymphatic communication between the dysembryoplastic vascular tissue and blood circulation could be the reason for the formation of this tumor, as well as the obstruction of lymph drainage or lymphatic damage. 7 Most studies consider hemolymphangioma as a benign tumor due to its good prognosis, but some studies found that it can invade the adjacent structures, 12 – 13 the same as our case. Diffuse or giant celiac hemolymphangioma is very rare and even rarer is the involvement of the spleen.…”

Hemolymphangioma is a rare disease with malformation of both lymphatic and vascular vessels. Few cases of hemolymphangioma occurring in the rectum, small intestine, pancreas, esophagus, and other organs have been reported. Nevertheless, multiple hemolymphangioma of the visceral organs are extremely rare. We report a 25-year-old female with a significantly enlarged spleen full of multiple-rounded lesions. Curiously, the splenic flexure and even retroperitoneum had many lesions. The patient recovered well after splenectomy and the pathologic diagnosis of spleen was hemolymphangioma with abnormal lymphatic and blood vessels with polycystic spaces.Usually, it is hard to cure this disease. We should take much more consideration into the diagnosis, treatment, and even pathogenesis, even though it is a benign lesion.

“…Hemolymphangiomas have been found in the pancreas, at the extremities, in the mediastinum, pericardium and on the tongue, as well as in the orbit, esophagus, retroperitoneally, adrenally, cervically, thoracically, hepatically and in the spleen (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15). In addition, there are also reports of hemolymphangiomas in the skin, throat, stomach and scrotum in Chinese literature (16)(17)(18).…”

Hemolymphangioma of the chest wall: A rare case report

et al. 2012

Abstract. Hemolymphangioma is a rare, benign and non-invasive type of tumor. Only a few cases have been reported in the literature. In the present study, we report a case of hemolymphangioma growing on the left anterior chest wall of a 57-year-old woman. Physical and laboratory examinations were all normal. However, computed tomography (CT) revealed a mass. A CT-guided biopsy was performed, followed by a thoracoscopic resection and thoracotomy. The postoperative course of the patient was uneventful. Follow up of the patient is ongoing. The findings of this case report, however, showed the significance of complete excision versus minimally invasive surgery to reduce recurrence.

Background: Hemolymphangioma is a rare vascular and lymphatic malformation. To the author’s knowledge, no cases of hemolymphangioma in the kidney have been reported in the literature. Case presentation: We herein report a case of a 68-year-old man with low back pain. NO abnormalities were revealed in laboratory data including liver, renal function and blood and urine sediments. Ultrasonography showed a huge separated cystic mass in the upper part of left kidney. In contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS) , the lesion of the kidney was hyper-enhanced in the hyper-enhanced in the cortical phase, and hypo-enhancement in medulla and delayed phase. Nephrectomy was performed. The pathologicaI diagnosis was a hemolymphangioma of thekidney. His postoperative course was uneventful and he was discharged on the 12th d after surgery. Conclusions: Although rare, hemolymphangioma should be considered a differential diagnosis for masses occurring in the kidney. Complete surgical resection is the treatment of choice and affords a good prognosis.
