Recurrent laryngeal lymphangiomatosis in a patient with Proteus syndrome: A case report.

Article Synopsis
- Proteus syndrome is a rare genetic disorder marked by uneven growth in body parts, with this study focusing on a 29-year-old female patient suffering from recurrent lymphangioma in the larynx and hypopharynx.
- Treatment methods included laser surgery, systemic therapy with a PIK3CA inhibitor (alpelisib), and sclerotherapy, with limited success from systemic therapy due to side effects.
- The findings highlight that laser surgery is currently the most effective treatment for lymphangiomas in the head and neck region and emphasize the importance of a multidisciplinary approach for managing rare syndromic diseases.

Background: Kaposiform lymphangiomatosis (KLA) is a complex lymphatic anomaly involving most commonly the mediastinum, lung, skin and bones with few effective treatments. In recent years, RAS-MAPK pathway mutations were shown to underlie the pathogenesis of several complex lymphatic anomalies. Specifically, an activating NRAS mutation (p.

Background: Generalized lymphatic anomaly previously known as diffuse systemic lymphangiomatosis is a rare multisystem congenital disease arising from the lymphatic system, and it is characterized by abnormal proliferation of the lymphatic channels in osseous and extraosseous tissues. It typically affects children or young adults. Although it is benign, it can be misdiagnosed as malignancy because of its diffuse and debilitating nature depending on the site of involvement.

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension is an uncommon etiology of secondary headaches in children. We report a unique case of a girl with kaposiform lymphangiomatosis who developed postural headaches and imaging features of spontaneous intracranial hypotension without a spinal extradural collection. The girl underwent dynamic computed tomography myelography which revealed a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-lymphatic fistula related to a lymphatic malformation associated with the right T10 nerve.
