Abstract:
Generalized lymphatic anomaly (GLA), previously known as lymphangiomatosis, is a rare developmental disease characterized by abnormal proliferation of lymphatic vascular structures that may involve the dermis, soft tissue, bone, and visceral parenchyma. Being an uncommon condition and the lack of specific symptoms often result in a delayed diagnosis or even misdiagnosis, which, in addition to its progressive nature, can lead to dysfunction of vital organs, and ultimately, a poor prognosis. In this report, we present a unique case of GLA in an upper Egyptian female child. Increasing awareness of the possible phenotypic presentations of such anomalies can lead to early diagnosis and possibly more effective management before significant organ damage ensues.
摘要:
广义淋巴异常(GLA),以前被称为淋巴管瘤病,是一种罕见的发育性疾病,其特征是淋巴管结构异常增殖,可能涉及真皮,软组织,骨头,还有内脏薄壁组织.作为一种罕见的疾病和缺乏特定的症状往往导致延迟诊断甚至误诊,which,除了它的进步性质,会导致重要器官的功能障碍,最终,预后不良。在这份报告中,我们介绍了一个埃及上层女性儿童的独特GLA病例。提高对此类异常的可能表型表现的认识可以导致早期诊断,并可能在发生重大器官损伤之前进行更有效的管理。
