초록
Generalized lymphangiomatosis is a rare congenital malformation of the lymphatics. CT and MR scan have been used to evaluate lymphangiomas, which appear as large multicystic fluid-filled masses. CT and MR Imaging findings are often helpful in distinguishing lymphangiomas from various vascular disorders. We report the findings of CT, MRI and bone scan in a patient with generalized cystic lymphangiomatosis. Whole body 3.0-T MR scan using STIR sequence with a larger FOV could detect the additional lesions that were not seen at other imaging modalities. We believe that whole body 3.0 T MR imaging is a good modality to evaluate the extent of the disease and following up the patients with the generalized cystic lymphangiomatosis.

We report the findings of CT, MRI and bone scan in a patient with generalized cystic lymphangiomatosis. Whole body 3.0-T MR scan using STIR sequence with a larger FOV could detect the additional lesions that were not seen at other imaging modalities. We believe that whole body 3.0 T MR imaging is a good modality to evaluate the extent of the disease and following up the patients with the generalized cystic lymphangiomatosis.
