“…The sonographic characteristics of this case are similar to previously published cases of axillary, neck and lower extremity lymphangiomas [9,23,[30][31][32]. More recently, Paladini et al [21] reported on the untypical localization of a lingual lymphangioma. In 1998 Suzuki et al [32] presented a series of 24 cases of cystic lymphangiomas.…”

“…In previous reports fetal lymphangiomas have been described in various locations [6,21,[30][31][32]. The sonographic characteristics of this case are similar to previously published cases of axillary, neck and lower extremity lymphangiomas [9,23,[30][31][32].…”

“…In cervical lymphangiomas, pharyngeal and larnygeal structures as well as the floor of the mouth and the trachea and esophagus might be involved in the lymphangiomatous tissue [21]. This might lead to distortion and dislocation of these structures causing fetal upper airway obstruction at birth [7,22,23].…”

A massive cervicothoracal lymphangioma was diagnosed in a fetus at 25 weeks of gestation. On ultrasound study, the mass showed septated, cystic components and extended from the right submandibular region to the right anterolateral thoracic wall including the right axilla and right scapula. Close sonographic follow-up revealed an increase in the size of the lymphangioma without fetal hydrops. An interdisciplinary approach including a pediatric surgeon, neonatologist, perinatologist and anesthesiologist was chosen. Elective cesarean section under general anesthesia was planned at 37 + 0 weeks of gestation. Surgical correction of the lymphangioma was successfully performed on the 4th day of life. Possible differential diagnoses and the obstetrical management are presented.

Macroglossia secondary to lymphangioma of the deep neck space: Report of two cases

et al. 2010

= Abstract = Lymphangioma is a rare, benign, and hamartomatous tumor of the lymphatic vessels that shows a marked predilection for the head and neck region. When this tumor occurs on the tongue or mouth floor or in the deep neck space, blockage of the efferent lymphatic vessels can result in secondary macroglossia. We report here two patients who showed unusual macroglossia from birth. Initially, there was no noticeable cervical or mandibular swelling. However, mandibular swellings were noted during follow-up examinations, which led to MRI scans on the two infant patients at 5 months and 5 weeks of age, respectively. Subsequently, both patients were diagnosed with lymphangioma or lymphangiohemangioma in the deep neck space. (Korean J Pediatr 2010;53:97-102)

“…A case of lingual lymphangioma has been reported by Paladin and coworkers. 8 A large congenital oropharyngeal tumor may cause partial to complete obstruction of the fetal mouth, thus leading to polyhydramnios in late pregnancy. After birth, acute airway obstruction and feeding problems may be encountered.…”
