Abstract:
Asymptomatic pneumatosis may be found in patients with lymphangiomatosis of bone. The authors report three cases from three institutions in which development of intraosseous gas in association with lymphangiomatosis of bone was found incidentally at imaging. Soft-tissue emphysema also developed in two cases. In all three cases, intraosseous gas developed after biopsy or surgery in the areas involved with lymphangiomatosis.
