Abstract:

 

Cutaneous lymphangioma is a benign and unusual tumor that develops mostly from the lymphatic vessels in the skin and subcutaneous tissue. When largely cystic, it is called as "cystic hygroma". Usually, it is confused with ganglions. We presented a case of dorsaly fistulized lymphangioma on the wrist after its local excision. The literature of the lymphangioma of the hand is reviewed. A case like this has not been reported previously. We added a general evaluation of patients who treated surgically with the diagnosis of hand ganglion in our clinic.

 

Kutanöz lenfanjiom cilt ve ciltaltı dokusundaki lenfatik sistemden köken alan, nadir görülen, benign bir tümördür. Makroskopik olarak multiloküler kistik alanlar taşırsa "kistik higroma" olarak adlandırılır. Klinik olarak sıklıkla ganglionlar ile karıştırılır. Sunulan olgu elbileği dorsalinde yerleşimli, ilk cerrahi girişim sonrasında tekrarlayarak fistülize olan bir kistik higroma olgusudur. Yapılan literatür taramasında lokal eksizyon sonrası fistülize olan tenfanjiom olgusuna rastlanmamıştır. Bu nedenle sunulan çatışmaya, kliniğimizde ganglion ön tanısı ile yapılan ameliyatların genel bir değerlendirmesi de eklenmiştir.
