Generalized Lymphatic Dysplasia Presenting As Cystic Hygroma – A Case Report
Journal Title: Saudi Journal of Pathology and Microbiology - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 10
Abstract
Cystic hygroma, though a benign lymphangioma seen in the pediatric age group is an isolated entity, its occurrence complemented with the incidence of Generalized Lymphatic Dysplasia is a rarity. Our baby was diagnosed prenatally with hydrops fetalis, however did not progress well after birth. The complications like respiratory failure and other biochemical comorbidities made the surgical management of cystic hygroma a challenge. There are very few studies which implicate the role of genetics in the pathogenesis of GLD. There is a dearth for exploratory research in this area, which will help in early diagnosis and prevention of such complications among the newborn.
