Abstract EN
Generalized lymphatic anomaly is a rare multisystem congenital disorder in which multiple organs are involved.
Imaging features often overlap with other complex lymphatic anomalies and diagnosis is difficult.
Treatment options are limited, not remedial and prognosis is poor.
We report a 12-year-old male who presented with axillary and chest wall lymphangioma but was subsequently diagnosed as having diffuse lymphangiomatosis affecting lungs, liver, spleen, and bones on computerized tomography scan.
We suggest complete radiological evaluation of susceptible adolescent children with lymphangioma to avoid diagnostic delay in this morbid condition.
We also discuss radiological features of other similar complex lymphatic anomalies and crucial role of imaging in diagnosis.
