Summary

A rare giant congenital cavernous lymphangioma caused severe elephantiasis in a child's leg. Imaging revealed bone lesions and extensive pelvic and retroperitoneal spread.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging
  • Vascular Malformations

Background:

  • Congenital cavernous lymphangioma is a rare vascular malformation.
  • Elephantiasis can result from lymphatic system obstruction.

Observation:

  • A pediatric case presented with a giant congenital cavernous lymphangioma.
  • The condition led to significant elephantiasis of the left lower extremity.

Findings:

  • Plain radiographs identified underlying bone lesions.
  • Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging precisely delineated the lymphangioma's extension into the pelvis and retroperitoneum.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the extensive potential spread of congenital lymphangiomas.
  • Accurate imaging is crucial for defining the full extent of the malformation for treatment planning.
