“…Subsequently, the tumor was completely excised. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining of the specimen was performed as previously described ( 5 ) and revealed dilated lymphatic vessels and blood vessels in the tumor ( Fig. 2 ).…”

Radiographic findings of hemolymphangioma in four patients: A case report

Due to the rarity of hemolymphangioma, a limited number of cases of the disease have been reported in the literature thus far. The present case report describes the cases of 4 patients with hemolymphangioma that were diagnosed and treated at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University (Xi'an, China). All patients were female, with a mean age of 44.7 years and a mean duration of symptoms prior to diagnosis of 2.7 years. The diagnosis of hemolymphangioma was determined by postoperative histopathology in all patients. A total of 2 patients were diagnosed with tumors that exhibited cystic characteristics (one in the mediastinum and the other in the neck), which was determined by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Another of the patients' tumors was located in the left forearm, and 1 patient had multifocal hemolymphangioma in the mediastinum and spleen. All patients underwent surgery and were asymptomatic during the follow-up periods (range, 8–15 months). In the present case report, the radiographic findings of the 4 cases are presented, including the unusual imaging characteristics that were observed, and relevant reports in the literature are discussed.

“…The formation of this tumor may be explained by obstruction of the veno-lymphatic communication between dysembryoplastic vascular tissue and the systemic circulation. Secondary hemolymphangioma is usually caused by the injury of lymphatic vessels in trauma or operation, which induces inadequate lymph uid drainage [7,8]. This tumor could also invade the adjacent structures [1,4].…”

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.

“…The primary tumor is considered to be a congenital malformation of the lymphatic vascular system, possibly formed due to obstruction of the venolymphatic communication between dysembryoplastic vascular tissue and the systemic circulation. By contrast, the secondary tumor is caused by poor lymph drainage and lymphatic damage resulting from surgery or trauma [ 15 , 20 ].…”

“…In the current case, the main complaints were neck pain and stiffness for approximately five months, without symptoms of extremity numbness or pain. In clinical examinations, they are usually described as soft and compressible masses, loculated in pattern [ 20 ]. The histopathological examination suggests that the tumors often consist of abnormal lymphatic and blood vessels with polycystic spaces, and the thin-walled cystic lesion has connective septa covered by endothelium [ 7 ].…”

“…These observations may indicate the presence of a lower number of tortuous blood vessels and water-based substance in the lesion, which was then confirmed during surgery. Imaging examinations, including ultrasound, computed tomography, and MRI scans, are useful in order to confirm the diagnosis, identify the tumor nature, and observe its extension and association with the surrounding tissues, assisting the selection of the surgical strategy [ 20 ]. However, an accurate diagnosis of the tumor cannot be preoperatively established in spite of modern imaging techniques and can be postoperatively based on histological evidence.…”

Introduction Hemolymphangioma is an extremely rare malformation of the lymphatic and blood vessels. A limited number of hemolymphangioma cases occurring in the pancreas, extremities, spleen, and other organs have been reported until September 2017. To the best of our knowledge, no cases of hemolymphangioma in the occipitocervical region have been reported in the literature. Case Presentation We reported the case of a 23-year-old male patient with an occipitocervical lesion presenting atypically as neck pain and stiffness over a period of five months. Although hemolymphangioma has historically demonstrated a female predilection (2.25 : 1 female to male) and presentation in the third to fourth decades of life, this case is an atypical manifestation occurring in a young male patient. The clinical characteristics and management choices of this uncommon case of hemolymphangioma in the occipitocervical region are discussed, and a review based on the available literature is also presented. Conclusion Hemolymphangioma of the occipitocervical region is an uncommon presentation of a rare lesion. Although rare, hemolymphangioma should be considered a differential diagnosis for masses occurring in the occipitocervical region. Complete surgical resection is the treatment of choice and affords a good prognosis.
