“…Although the term "(diffuse) cystic angiomatosis" has been generally used [15,20,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29], a wide variety of diagnostic terms such as "(diffuse) skeletal angiomatosis" [16,[30][31][32], "(diffuse) skeletal hemangiomatosis" [2][3][4][5][6], "lymphangiomatosis" [11][12][13], "cystic lymphangiectasia" [9,10], "multiple lymphangiectases" [7], and "hamartous hemolymphangiomatosis" [14,15] have been applied to what is probably the same condition. A few cases of multiple primary hemagiomas of bone have been reported and they have been considered a separate entity from cystic angiomatosis [17,33,34].…”

Cystic angiomatosis of bone with sclerotic changes mimicking osteoblastic metastases

Five unusual cases of cystic angiomatosis of bone which presented with the radiologic appearance of osteoblastic lesions are reported. Three patients were female (ages 37, 41, and 65 years) and two were male (ages 24 and 66 years). Although cystic angiomatosis of bone usually produces widespread osteolytic lesions with a honeycombed appearance in the skeletal system, multiple osteoblastic lesions mimicking metastatic osteoblastic carcinoma are sometimes seen. This radiological presentation has not been well emphasized in previous reports. Histologically, in addition to the angiomatous lesions, both mature thickened lamellar bone trabeculae and immature trabeculae of woven bone were found. In one of our patients, increasing density of the osteoblastic lesions was noted over time. One previous study has suggested that the age of the lesions of cystic angiomatosis is related to radiographic density. It is important to recognize this uncommon variant of cystic angiomatosis and to include this entity among the radiologic differential diagnoses when multiple osteoblastic lesions are encountered.

“…Others have postulated pressure erosion of bone by enlarging lymphatics as a possible mechanism for osteolysis [9]. Dilated lymph vessels in the haversian canals compress blood vessels and cause stasis in the blood and lymph vessels [1]. CSF leakage can be explained by dural defects mediated through pressure erosion and atrophy adjacent to the lesion or extension of the lymphangiomatosis process into the dura [2,4].…”

“…The spine and scapulae are less frequently involved [7]. Lymphangiography has been helpful in demonstrating local lymphatic obstruction and retention of contrast medium within the lesions involving the extremities; however, injection of the calvarium has not proven to be useful [1,11]. Skeletal radiography survey is indicated in the presence of soft tissue lymphangioma.…”

A Rare Case of Lymphangiomatosis of the Craniocervical Spine in Conjunction with a Chiari I Malformation

et al. 2003

Lymphangiomatosis of the bone is rare. The axial as well as appendicular skeleton may be affected. Neurosurgical consultation may be called for several reasons: (1) lesions involving the calvarium and/or spine; (2) nondiagnostic biopsies from more accessible and less morbid locations, and (3) persistent CSF leak and/or recurrent meningitis. Thus, it is important for the neurosurgeon to be familiar with this disease entity and consider it in the differential diagnoses of multifocal lytic lesions of the axial skeleton. We present a case report of a 4-year-old girl with lymphangiomatosis of the skull base and upper cervical spine with concurrent Chiari I malformation and briefly review the literature.

“…If watery or milky fluid exudes from these spaces, a lymphatic cyst should be suspected (1)(2)(3)(4). Operative trauma or rough handling of the tissues may cause hemorrhage into these spaces, accounting for the red blood corpuscles seen within them on microscopy.…”
