“…Overall recurrence after resection is reported to be between 10% and 50%. 4 In a series of 12 cases of mediastinal lymphangiomas, Park et al reported recurrence in 4 out of 5 cases in which initial excision was not complete and no recurrence after radical resection. 5 Additionally, Stromberg et al reported curation after partial excision to be only 12%.…”

Lymphangiomas are rare benign neoplasms derived from portions of lymph sacs. They most often occur in children in the cervical region and 90% have manifested by the end of the second year of life. An isolated mediastinal lymphangioma in an adult is an uncommon disease entity. We report the case of a mediastinal lymphangioma in a 29-year-old man presenting as a suprasternal lump, which was resected through a partial sternotomy/hemiclamshell thoracotomy.

“…Although several conservative management treatments, such as compression garments and drain insertion, have been used to prevent fluid re-accumulation and re-expansion of lymphatic malformations, previous research has shown these treatments to be minimally effective [8]. Thus, the need for better therapeutic strategies prompted the use of combined and interdisciplinary treatments; however, most cases used one modality as a primary treatment and only used a secondary modality after unsatisfactory response to the first treatment [1,5,8,10,12].…”

“…Sclerotherapy has been elected as the first-line therapy for macrocystic lymphangioma treatment, while surgery is still recommended for the microcystic forms. 80,81 Sclerotherapy is usually performed through ultrasound-guided puncture and fluoroscopic contrastographic control of the cyst, followed by endocytic injection of sclerosing agents. Literature 82 reports experiences of CT-guided and CT-controlled sclerotherapy.…”

Interventional radiology technique is now well established and widely used in the adult population. Through minimally invasive procedures, it increasingly replaces surgical interventions that involve higher percentages of invasiveness and, consequently, of morbidity and mortality. For these advantageous reasons, interventional radiology in recent years has spread to the paediatric age as well. The aim of this study was to review the literature on the development, use and perspectives of these procedures in the paediatric musculoskeletal field. Several topics are covered: osteomuscle neoplastic malignant and benign pathologies treated with invasive diagnostic and/or therapeutic procedures such as radiofrequency ablation in the osteoid osteoma; invasive and non-invasive procedures in vascular malformations; treatment of aneurysmal bone cysts; and role of interventional radiology in paediatric inflammatory and rheumatic inflammations. The positive results that have been generated with interventional radiology procedures in the paediatric field highly encourage both the development of new ad hoc materials, obviously adapted to young patients, as well as the improvement of such techniques, in consideration of the fact that childrens' pathologies do not always correspond to those of adults. In conclusion, as these interventional procedures have proven to be less invasive, with lower morbidity and mortality rates as well, they are becoming a viable and valid alternative to surgery in the paediatric population. MUSCULOSKELETAL MALIGNANT TUMOURSOsteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma and rhabdomyosarcoma are the most common musculoskeletal tumours of childhood and adolescence.
