Abstract:
Lymphangiomas are rare benign lesions resulting from abnormal proliferation and sequestration of lymphatic tissues that are disconnected from the rest of the lymphatic system. This is a case of a 50-year-old woman with an unusually large mediastinal lymphangioma complicated by hemorrhage. The substantial mass effect and unstable clinical status necessitated urgent operative management. The use of preoperative multimodality radiologic assessment, including CT and MRI, is illustrated throughout this case. Keywords: CT, MR Imaging, Thorax, Lung © RSNA, 2022.
