Case report: A case of giant fetal chest wall cystic lymphangioma was diagnosed prenatally at 19 weeks gestation. Expectation treatment was performed, carefully after prenatal counseling, ruling out other structural abnormalities. At 38 weeks gestation, ultrasound showed a multilocular, subcutaneous cystic mass of 12.3 cm × 9.2 cm × 11.0 cm located on the left chest wall and left upper arm.

Conclusion: Our experience suggests that a large, septated fetal lymphangioma may still merit prenatal expectation treatment if there is no evidence for chromosomal and structural abnormality.http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1028455914002095congenital malformationsgenetic counselinglymphangiomaprenatal diagnosis |
