| description | Cavernous lymphangioma is a congenital malformation of lymphatic system
causing dilated lymphatic sinuses that involve the skin and subcutaneous tissues.
This was an interesting case of dystrophic macrodactyly of the left ring and little
finger in a 18-month-old girl who presented with swollen and sausage like fingers
deformity which turned out to be an isolated cavernous lymphangioma. This
tumor, although rare to occur in the extremeties, must be differentiated from other
congenital vascular lesions of the hand that include arteriovenous malformations
and hemangiomas. Diagnosis should be solely based on histopathological analysis
of the excised tissue mass. Surgical excision is usually necessary for satisfactory
functional and cosmetic outcome. |
