The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in maintaining physiological homeostasis and regulating immune responses. Traditional imaging modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging, computerized tomography, and positron emission tomography have been widely used to diagnose disorders in the lymphatic system, including lymphedema, lymphangioma, lymphatic metastasis, and Castleman disease. Nano-fluorescence technology has distinct advantages-including naked-eye visibility, operational simplicity, portability of the laser, and real-time visibility-and serves as an innovative alternative to traditional imaging techniques.

December 2024

Department of Thoracic Surgery, National Center for Children's Health. No.56, Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University, Nan Li Shi Road, Xi Cheng District, Beijing, 100045, China.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study analyzed clinical data from 65 pediatric patients with mediastinal lymphangiomas to summarize their features and outcomes of different surgical techniques, focusing on open versus minimally invasive surgery.
  • - Patients ranged from 2 months to 10 years old, with minimally invasive surgery linked to shorter operation times, less bleeding, and fewer hospitalization days compared to open surgery, without significant differences in complication rates.
  • - Mediastinal lymphangiomas present primarily with respiratory symptoms, and effective preoperative imaging aids in diagnosis; the findings suggest that minimally invasive surgery is preferable due to reduced trauma and better visibility during procedures.

Lymphangiomas are rare benign tumors that result from lymphatic vessel malformations and/or obstructions commonly on the neck and armpits, being rare in the retroperitoneal space. We report a case of a healthy 25-month-old male with a six-month history of abdominal distension and recurrent episodes of diarrhea who was clinically diagnosed with giardiasis. The complementary evaluation showed a cystic formation occupying the whole abdominal cavity and implanted at the abdominal retroactivity.

Article Synopsis
  • * A case study of a 54-year-old woman with chronic left upper quadrant pain led to the discovery of a 3.9 cm non-vascular splenic mass, confirmed as cystic lymphangioma through imaging and requiring laparoscopic splenectomy for symptomatic relief.
  • * Though rare in adults, splenic cystic lymphangiomas can necessitate surgery if symptomatic, with imaging being crucial for diagnosis, and laparoscopic splenectomy being the preferred treatment due to its effectiveness and safety.

Acquired vulvar lymphangioma (AVL) is a rare but important condition that requires prompt diagnosis and appropriate management to alleviate symptoms and prevent complications. AVL can erupt locally as isolated or clustered lesions which range from translucent, fluid-filled vesicles to smooth, flesh-colored papules or nodules that exude serous or crystalline liquid spontaneously or after trauma. Clinically, it can also be asymptomatic.

Introduction: While laparoscopic splenectomy (LS) has been widely used in benign splenic tumor, more concerns have been raised for postoperatively short-term and long-term complications. Laparoscopic partial splenectomy (LPS) is a surgical option, to preserve splenic function, and reduce postoperative complications. The aim of our study was to retrospectively identify the safety and feasibility of LPS compared with LS in patients with splenic benign tumor.
