SALEIRO, Sandra; MAGALHAES, Adriana; MOURA, Conceição Souto y HESPANHOL, Venceslau. Mediastinal cystic lymphangioma . Rev Port Pneumol [online]. 2006, vol.12, n.6, pp.731-735. ISSN 0873-2159.
Mediastinal lymphangioma is a rare vascular neoplasm, accounting for 0.7 to 4.5% of all the mediastinum tumors. It is a benign tumor, generally occurring as a mediastinal mass of slow growth. Most patients are asymptomatic, being incidentally diagnosed after a routine chest radiograph. The best treatment consists of complete surgical resection. Prognosis depends on the degree of resecability degree, and recurrence is not expected if the lesion is totally removed.
