Overview

Lymphatic malformations (LM) are simple vascular malformations. Clinically they can exhibit a wide range of manifestations. They may occur as isolated anomalies, combined with other vascular anomalies such as lymphatic malformations and venous malformations, or may occur as manifestations of multi-system syndromes. Their diagnosis and management depends on their clinical manifestations, histopathological behavior, and coexisting anomalies.

Lymphatic Malformations (LM)

Kaposiform lymphangiomatosis (KLA)

LM in Gorham-Stout disease

“Acquired” progressive lymphatic anomaly

Primary lymphedema

Nonne-Milroy syndrome

Primary hereditary lymphedema

Primary hereditary lymphedema

Lymphedema-distichiasis

Hypotrichosis-lymphedema-telangiectasia

Primary lymphedema with myelodysplasia

Primary generalized lymphatic anomaly

Microcephaly with or without chorioretinopathy, lymphedema, or mental retardation syndrome

Lymphedema-choanal atresia

  • A very rare syndrome described in 1982 in a Middle Eastern family when individuals in the family presented with bilateral posterior choanal atresia with other developmental abnormalities such as high arched palate, hypoplastic nipples, pericardial effusion, and pectus excavatum. Follow up detected lymphedema in five individuals with choanal atresia in the family later in 1991.
  • Deletion in PTPN14 gene that appeared to follow autosomal-recessive pattern are thought to be the cause. This gene encodes for a protein that is thought to be involved in cell-signaling pathways and regulation of cellular functions.[26]
