Generalized lymphangiomatosis is a rare congenital malformation of the lymphatics. CT and MR scan have been used to evaluate lymphangiomas, which appear as large multicystic fluid-filled masses. CT and MR Imaging findings are often helpful in distinguishing lymphangiomas from various vascular disorders. We report the findings of CT, MRI and bone scan in a patient with generalized cystic lymphangiomatosis. Whole body 3.0-T MR scan using STIR sequence with a larger FOV could detect the additional lesions that were not seen at other imaging modalities. We believe that whole body 3.0 T MR imaging is a good modality to evaluate the extent of the disease and following up the patients with the generalized cystic lymphangiomatosis.

Arteriovenous fistula Is the most widely used mean of vascular access for long-term hemodialysis in patients with end-stage renal disease. Lymphangioma associated with arteriovenous fistula is very rare, seemed to be developed from Iymphatic fluid accumulation. Lymphangioma is benign neoplasm, arises de hobo or secondary to surge y or irradiation, and affects almost any part of the body served by the Lwphasic system. Treatment of choise for Iymphangioma Is surgical excision. We repo$\ulcorner$t a case of procedure using Gore-Tex graft between left brachial artery and cephalic vein for vascular access of hemodialysis in 59 year old female, with successful surgical removal.

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.

Although pulmonary lymphangioma is very rare, it is usually discovered as cystic or cavitary or solitary pulmonary nodular shadow on radiological studies. The final diagnosis is usually made pathologically after surgical intervention. We report an unusual case of pulmonary cystic lymphangioma developed in the lingular segment of the left upper lobe which was diagnosed and treated by surgical resection.

Cystic lymphangioma is also called cystic hygroma, and it usually appears in the cervico-facial and axillary regions. It is usually apparent at birth and 90% of the cases appear at the end of second year. We have experienced a 64 year-old-male who had a large cystic lymphangioma in the left posterior chest wall. Surgical excision was done, and his postoperative course was uneventful. He has been well for two years postoperatively.

A 14-year-old male patient was admitted for an abnormal chest X-ray. A chest computed tomogram showed a cystic mass in the anterior mediastinum and spleen, $14\times14cm$ and $2\times2cm$ in size respectively. Complete removal of the mediastinal lesion was achieved by a median sternotomy. The final histologic diagnosis of the lesion was cystic lymphangioma. There was no evidence of tumor recurrence until a postoperative period of 14 months.

Lymphangioma is a benign tumor resulted from abnormal communication between large dermal lymphatic channels and central lymphatic system. The tumor is encountered more often in the neck and axilla and less often in mediastinum, omentum, retroperitoneum, and scrotum. It rarely developes at urogenital system, and there has been no previous description of lymphangioma involving the bladder wall in Korea. We report a case of 35-year-old female with infected huge lymphagioma ansing from pelvic cavity and involving bladder wall.

A case report of lymphangiohemangioma of the mediastinum that was misdiagnosed as thymic origin mass on chest CT and MR angiography. Operative finding revealed vascular proliferation originated from innominate vein and the pathologic finding showed both lymphatic and vascular component which was diagnosed lymphangiohemangioma.
