Lymphangioma of Bladder

Profound Hematuria in a Toddler Yields an Unusual Diagnosis

“…Lymphovascular malformations of the bladder are extremely rare, and have only been reported in a handful of patients in the medical literature. 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 While four of these previous six patients were children, this case represents the youngest known child to have been affected. Interestingly, the current patient also appears to have suffered from one of the gravest cases thus far.…”

Cavernous lymphangioma of the urinary bladder in an adult woman: an additional case report of a rare lesion and literature review

“…Mesenchymal tumors of the urinary bladder are rare, and lymphangiomas among them are even rarer. Of the previously reported 5 patients with lymphangioma involving the urinary bladder (Table 1 ), 3 were adults and 2 were children, most of whom were manifested as painless gross hematuria, a symptom that is associated with hemorrhage of the lymphangioma or infection [ 5 ].
