Lymphatic malformation
Chest radiograph (image 1) in a newborn shows a massive lymphatic malformation involving the chest wall extending into the upper extremities. Focused ultrasound of the right chest (image 2) shows that the malformation has a heterogeneous appearance with cystic spaces, solid appearing spaces, and spaces with hypoechoic fluid. The hypoechoic fluid is shown to be layering and mobile on real-time imaging (image 3). Lymphatic malformations are benign congenital lesions. They most commonly occur in the head and neck region but can appear anywhere within the body. Typically, lymphatic malformations are classified according to the diameter of the largest cystic cavity and can be microcystic or macrocystic. Macrocystic lesions have cystic space is larger than 2 cm in diameter.
