We present a young girl with a diffuse, macrocystic lymphatic malformation with associated venous dilation involving the left lower pulmonary lobe and mediastinum. Recurrent hemoptysis necessitated left lower lobectomy. This is the first reported case of a macrocystic lymphatic lesion with venous anomalies located within the parenchyma of the lung.

Sclerotherapy combined with sirolimus for the treatment of complex cervicofacial lymphatic malformations in infants: avoiding the need for tracheostomy.

Background: Lymphatic malformations (LMs) are low-flow, congenital lesions commonly presenting as asymptomatic masses in the head and neck. However, large lymphangiomas can significantly affect breathing or swallowing, posing considerable treatment challenges.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of complex cervicofacial LMs in infants was conducted over the past 8 years at the Department of Radiology.

Background: Over the past few decades, percutaneous sclerotherapy has been proven to be efficacy in treating macrocystic lymphatic malformations (LMs). Unfortunately, there still remains challenging in the treatment of microcystic LMs given their size. We introduce the intralesional laser thermolysis (ILT) technique, a novel enhancement technique for the traditional percutaneous sclerotherapy in the treatment of microcystic LMs.

Article Synopsis
- Lymphatic malformation (LM) is a congenital condition linked to mutations in the PIK3CA gene, causing symptoms like noisy breathing, particularly in young children.
- A two-year-old boy presented with breathing difficulties, leading to the diagnosis of LM, confirmed by MRI and characterized by a painless neck swelling and airway compression.
- Treatment with sirolimus showed a high response rate, improving the child's stridor, highlighting the importance of imaging in identifying possible external compressions in cases of stridor caused by head and neck tumors.
