Abstract:
The authors describe a case of cavernous lymphangioma of the thigh. This case was complicated by severe septicaemia and acute tubular necrosis. Intensive reanimation, with haemodialysis and tracheal intubation was required. A lymphography after surgical excision of the tumor, shows a lymphatic block at the right side, far below the tumor's level. There exists an important extravasation of contrast medium. The rapport between this lymphangiopathy and the tumor is discussed. The litterature about lymphangioma is reviewed. The cavernous lymphangioma and the cystic hygroma are considerated being a different evolution of the same entity.

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...

Detailed Structure and Function of Lymph Nodes
From a histological perspective, lymph nodes can be split into two main areas: the superficial cortex and the deep medulla. The outer cortex is populated by dendritic cells, macrophages, and B lymphocytes, which are densely packed into follicles. When these B-lymphocytes are presented...
