Abstract

Lymphangioma is a developmental anomaly that is known to occur in the neck and axilla, and only rarely in the mediastinum, retroperitoneum, groin and pelvis. An isolated chest wall lymphangioma is a rare benign neoplasm. In case of large sized lymphangioma, surgical excision is preferably recommended as the treatment of choice. We operated on a three-year old female for excision of chest wall. In pathologic diagnosis, it diagnosed the mass as chest wall lymphangioma.

림프관종은 대부분 목이나 액와부에 발생되며, 드물게 종격동, 후복강, 서혜부와 골반강 내에서 발생이 보고된다. 흉벽에 국한된 림프관종은 드물게 발견되는 양성종양이며, 종괴의 크기가 큰 경우에는 외과적인 절제술이 치료방법으로 추천된다. 3세 여아의 흉벽에 발생된 큰 종괴를 절제하였다. 조직학적인 검사에서 림프관종으로 진단되었다.
