Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology of a Cervical Lymph Node Lymphangioma in an Adult

Fine-needle aspiration cytology of lymphangioma of the parotid gland in an adult

“…15,18 Microscopically, lymphangiomas are characterized by a cyst lined with a flattened endothelial layer with a fibrous cyst wall 1,2,5,10,11,17,18 that can contain lymphoid aggregates. 1 The cytologic findings in our case of parotid lymphangioma were similar to the cytologic findings of other head and neck lymphangiomas, [7][8][9] and were characterized by aspiration of hypocellular, clear fluid that contained variable numbers of mature lymphocytes, red blood cells, and only rare clusters of benign-appearing salivary gland epithelium. No oncocytic epithelium, squamous epithelium, or histiocytes were seen.…”

“…The cytologic features of parotid lymphangiomas and head and neck lymphangiomas in adults have been infrequently mentioned in the literature. [7][8][9] Herein we report on a case of parotid lymphangioma in a 34-yr-old man.…”

Cystic Lymphangioma of the Breast: Magnetic Resonance Imaging Features

“…Simple lymphangiomas are composed of Lymphangiomas are benign and have never been known to harbor malignancy. Cytological studies of fluid aspirated from lymphangiomas show scanty cells predominantly of lymphoid origin [16]. Surgery is the choice of treatment.…”

Bilateral Cervical Lymphangioma of The Neck In An Adult: A Rare Case with Review of Literature

“…In adults with compromised airways, FNA may be therapeutic, as well as diagnostic. [18] Immunohistochemistry may reveal polyclonal B lymphocytes mixed with T cells. [19] Microscopically, these lesions appear as endothelial-lined lymphatic spaces with intervening fibrous tissue and lymphoid aggregates.…”
