Abstract

Lymphangioma(or cystic hygroma) of the chest wall is rare case. We experienced one such case in a 16-year-old girl who complained of a large recurrent mass on her right upper post erolateral chest wall which had developed several years ago. The diagnosis was made following a physical examination, chest magnetic resonance imaging(MRI), and radio isotope (RI) lymphangiogrphy and was confirmed by a histopathological examination. We performed total excision of the lesion followed by a repeated sclerosing therapy with intralesional injection of Vibramycin.

흉벽의 임파관종은 전 세계적으로 매우 드물게 보고 되어있다. 본원에서는 16세의 여자환자로 우측 상부 후측방 흉벽에 반복적으로 나타나는 거대 종괴를 주소로 내원한 임파관종 환자를 치험하였다. 진단은 이학 적 검사와 흉부 핵자기공명 촬영, 동위원소 임파관 촬영술을 실시하였으며 조직검사로 확진하였다. 치료는 외과적 완전 절제를 하였으며 술후 반복적 림프액의 유출로 수술부위에 vibramycin을 주사하였다.
