Cystic hygroma of the neck, a congenital benign tumor of the lymphatic system, is a potential cause of neonatal airway obstruction leading to stridor. Meticulous airway evaluation, case appropriate preparation, and use of advanced technology, including videolaryngoscope and ultrasonography, can facilitate the safe management of the difficult airway.

Mediastinal lymphangiomas are rare benign tumors arising from lymphatic system malformations, most commonly seen in pediatric populations. In adults, they are exceedingly rare and present diagnostic challenges due to nonspecific symptoms and imaging overlap with other mediastinal masses. Diagnosis is typically based on imaging, including CT and MRI, with histopathology confirming the diagnosis.

Background: Generalized lymphatic anomaly (GLA) is a rare congenital lymphatic malformation (LM) characterized by multiple infiltrating lymphangiomas in various tissues. Owing to its rarity, information on this disease is obtained mainly through case reports, leading to delayed diagnosis. In this study, we reported a case of generalized lymphatic anomaly in a pediatric patient manifesting as hemorrhagic pleural effusion.

Article Synopsis
  • Conjoined twins, or Siamese twins, are a rare type of monochorionic twinning requiring specialized imaging for diagnosis and monitoring.
  • Ultrasound is typically the first choice for screening, while MRI provides detailed anatomical information when needed.
  • A case of first trimester thoraco-omphalopagus conjoined twins with cystic hygroma was thoroughly evaluated using both sonography and MRI, highlighting the importance of advanced imaging in accurate diagnosis.

Lymphangiomas are localized multi-cystic malformations of the lymphatic and vascular system, primarily affecting the head and neck regions in children. Orbital lymphangiomas are not considered hamartomas because the orbit does not commonly display lymphatic vessels. In this case report, we describe a male patient who was 15 years old and presented to our medical facility with the primary complaints of having a bulging left eye, sudden chemosis of the lower conjunctiva, and pain in the left eye.
