Abstract:
The authors are describing three cases of lymphangioma, one at a seven years old child with cervico-mediastinal localization; another at a 39 years old person, situated only in mediastinum, the third is a cervical lymphangioma at a 55 years old subject. The respiratory symptoms are present in the two cases with mediastinal involvement. The patient with cervical localization had no symptoms. The radiological exams: thoracic radiography, CT or the ultrasound test are revealing a cystic tumor in mediastinum or in cervical region. We performed a complete surgical tumor resection through median sternotomy, left thoracotomy and cervicotomy. The evolution was very good in all cases. The diagnosis had histopathological confirmation.

Lymphatic Vessels and Lymph Transport
This one-way system allows fluids, solutes, and even pathogens to enter but prevents their return to the intercellular spaces.
Development of the Lymphatic System
The first lymph sacs to form are the paired jugular lymph sacs located at the junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins. From these sacs, lymphatic capillary plexuses extend to the thorax, upper limbs, neck, and head, eventually forming lymphatic vessels. Each jugular lymph sac maintains a...

Secondary Lymphoid Organs
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
