“…Our patient presented in middle age, hence, a metastatic disease with multiorgan involvement was the first possibility kept as differential, and the main aim of multiple diagnostic tests was to rule out the same. A similar case reported by Kumar et al [4] considered metastatic disease due to multi-organ involvement; however, post the biopsy, turned out to be SCA.…”

Systemic cystic angiomatosis (SCA) is a rare disorder, usually involving the visceral organs with incidental detection during its insidious course. On radiography, it can present as multiple cystic lesions. In rare instances, it can present as mixed lesions (lytic, sclerotic) as was the case with our patient. The disease has a better prognosis than most vascular neoplasms involving the bones. We present a rare case of this disease, involving multiple organs, and presenting with an insidious onset.

Cystic angiomatosis is a rare disease characterized by disseminated multifocal hemangiomatous and/or lymphangiomatous cystic lesions of the skeleton with possible visceral organ involvement. Only a few dozens of such patients worldwide have been described in the literature. This article presents two case reports of the patients admitted to the D. Rogachev NRMCPHOI with suspected Langerhans cell histiocytosis. The patient’s parents gave their consent to the use of their child’s data, including photographs, for research purposes and in publications. During the investigation, multiple cysts of the skull bones, spine, pelvic bones and limbs, as well as of the spleen were found in both patients. A biopsy of the bone cysts of the skull revealed no data in favor of histiocytosis or other neoplasms. Cystic angiomatosis was diagnosed in both cases. This is a rare disease that should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis in patients with cystic lesions of the bones and visceral organs.

“…3 Other sites include liver, kidneys, skin, soft tissue, lungs, and pleura. 2 The characteristic imaging appearance of the skeletal lesions include well-defined intramedullary cysts, a sclerotic peripheral rim, a preserved bony cortex, and no periosteal reaction. 4 A few cases of lytic bone lesions have also been described.…”

“…4 A few cases of lytic bone lesions have also been described. 2,3 The sclerosing form is more commonly seen in elderly patients and the lytic lesions more commonly seen in younger patients. 2 Histologically, lesions are characterized by cystic or dilated vascular spaces lined by flat endothelial cells.…”
