Vào viện vì khối u rất to trong bụng, bé vừa nhập viện ngày 03/11/2010
 |
| Hệ thống hạch bạch huyết trong cơ thể |
Tại khoa sơ sinh BV NĐ CT được nghi ngờ là Lymphangiomas .
Trọng lượng bé khi sanh 3,6 kg , sau 20 ngày tăng trọng nhanh lên 1 kg ,
hiện tại 4,6 kg mẹ bé thấy chủ yếu thấy tăng nhanh vùng bụng.
Khi khi siêu âm phát hiện nang dịch rất to vùng ổ bụng
( theo dõi :1/ Nang mạc treo ruột non ,và 2/ Lymphangiomas ) .
Bé Ng được chẩn đoán thêm nhiễm trùng da , được điều trị KS , nuôi ăn TM , sau 1 ngày xuất hiện thêm phù nề 1 chân bên trái , phù tăng rất nhanh .Bụng chướng to .
Được chuyển qua khoa Ngoại BVNĐ CT ,hội chẩn làm thêm các XN cần & chờ phẫu thuật , Chúng ta sẽ chờ xem kết quả của bé Ng thêm vài ngày tiếp theo .
( SẼ CUNG CẤP THÔNG TIN )
Khi phát hiện chỉ dựa vào siêu âm thôi thì chưa chắc chắn mà phải Lymphangiomas dựa vào Mô bệnh học bởi vì lymphangioma là một tăng sản lành tính hamartomatous của mạch bạch huyết,
Có ba loại khác nhau của lymphangioma, Có các triệu chứng khac nhau được phân biệt bởi độ sâu và kích thước của các mạch bạch huyết bất thường, nhưng tất cả đều có một dị tật của hệ thống lymphic.
Lymphangioma có thể được tìm thấy trên bề mặt da, và hai loại lymphangiomas xảy ra sâu dưới da. Lymphangioma circumscriptum,Cavernous lymphangiomas, lymphangiomas Cavernous
Nguyên nhân
Nguyên nhân trực tiếp của lymphangioma là một sự tắc nghẽn của hệ bạch huyết bào thai phát triển, mặc dù các triệu chứng có thể trở thành nhìn thấy được cho đến sau khi em bé được sinh ra tắc nghẽn này được cho là gây ra bởi một số yếu tố, nhiễm virus trong khi mang thai, hoặc mẹ dùng rượu .
Hoặc trong 3 tháng đầu mẹ bị rối loạn di truyền như hội chứng Noonan và trisomies 13 , 18 , và 21. nhiễm sắc thể aneuploidy như hội chứng Turner hay hội chứng Down đã được tìm thấy ở 40% bệnh nhân nang hygroma.
Trong trường hợp trước khi sinh, nang lymphangioma được chẩn đoán bằng siêu âm , khi khẳng định chọc ối có thể được đề nghị để kiểm tra các chứng rối loạn liên quan đến di truyền, gặp 90 % các trường hợp < 2 tuổi , và sơ sinh chiếm cao khoảng 50%,
Vì không có cơ hội trở thành ác tính, lymphangiomas thường được điều trị vì lý do thẩm mỹ mà thôi.nhưng Lymphangiomas tiêu thụ đặc biệt của lớp hạ bì bề ngoài hoàn toàn u này có tỷ lệ tái phát thấp hơn , thường có thể được hoàn toàn loại bỏ. Nhưng nếu nhiều tổn thương được nhìn thấy trong giai đoạn phôi thai tại lymphangiomatosis bạch huyết với angiomatosis mọc chung các mạch máu và có khả năng đe dọa tính mạng trẻ khi các nội tạng tham gia . hoặc có thể dẫn đến biến chứng, như suy hô hấp , cắt bỏ phẫu thuật và điều trị bằng liệu pháp xơ hoá .
Lymphangiomas bẩm sinh thường gắn liền với các bất thường nhiễm sắc thể như hội chứng Turner .
Hội chứng Turner hoặc hội chứng Turner Ullrich (còn được gọi là "dysgenesis sinh dục" bao gồm một số điều kiện, trong đó đơn nhiễm X (vắng mặt của một nhiễm sắc thể giới tính toàn bộ, các cơ thể Barr ) là phổ biến nhất, một bất thường nhiễm sắc thể trong đó tất cả hoặc một phần của một trong các nhiễm sắc thể giới tính là vắng mặt (con người không bị ảnh hưởng có 46 nhiễm sắc thể, trong đó hai nhiễm sắc thể giới tính), yếu tố nguy cơ hội chứng Turner cũng không được biết nhưng Tỷ lệ dị tật tim mạch ở bệnh nhân hội chứng Turner có khi lên tới 30% như van 2 lá , hẹp động mạch chủ ….
Phù nề 1 chân bên Trái ( từ đùi xuống mu bàn chân )
Hy vọng bé Ng không có hội chứng Turner đi kèm ???

Chapter X.12. Lymphangiomas
John J. Chung, MS, MPH
This newborn male infant was born to a 30 year old G1P1 mother at 40 weeks gestation via cesarean section. Prenatal ultrasonography performed at 32 weeks gestation revealed a 1 cm x 1 cm x 1 cm hypoechoic but nonseptated mass in the posterior neck. An encephalocele or meningocele were deemed unlikely and the infant was suspected of having a cystic hygroma (a type of lymphatic malformation). No evidence of fetal hydrops or other congenital anomalies were noted. The pregnancy is closely monitored with detailed serial ultrasounds for the duration of the pregnancy. At term, the hypoechoic lesion is 2 cm x 1 cm x 2 cm. While there is still no indication of hydrops fetalis by ultrasonography, a cervical cystic mass could obstruct a vaginal delivery and the mother is advised to undergo a cesarean section.
Upon delivery, Apgar scores are 8 and 9 at 1 and 5 minutes. VS T 37.5, HR 110, R 60, BP 51/25, weight 3.3 kg (50th %ile), length 51cm (50th %ile). His head is normocephalic with no evidence of additional cystic masses. Eyes, ears, nose and mouth are all normal. A 2 cm wide mass is noted in the posterior neck. Heart, lung, abdomen, extremity, skin and neurologic examinations are normal.
He begins to breast feed normally. Imaging studies fail to demonstrate any other cysts. Because nuchal cysts can grow to obstruct the trachea or esophagus, most of the cyst is surgically excised. Histology of the cyst shows only lymphatic tissue, confirming the diagnosis of a cystic hygroma. Because of its proximity to nerves, the cystic hygroma tissue could not be completely removed. By 12 months of age, local recurrence of the cystic hygroma is evident. Options for recurrent and unresectable lymphangiomas, such as drug sclerotherapy, were discussed with his parents. They are also informed of the possibilities of infection, hemorrhage, and continual recurrence despite treatment.
Lymphangiomas or lymphatic malformations (LM) are defined as isolated regions of lymphatic tissue which are thought to occur after the 6th week of gestation, when developing lymphatic tissue fails to properly anastomose (1,2,3). Lymphatic tissue can also improperly anastomose with capillaries, veins, and arteries (4). These isolated regions of lymphatic tissue function to absorb interstitial fluid and enlarge as lymph fluid continues to accumulate with time (3). Depending on their location and size, lymphatic malformations can be benign and asymptomatic or they can press against nerves, organs, or obstruct circulation (4). For example, lymphangiomas in the head and neck can cause airway obstruction, and alter speech and/or mastication (3).
The true incidence rate for lymphatic malformations is uncertain, since small ones may not be very evident. The most common lymphatic malformation, cystic hygromas, have an estimated incidence of 1:875 among miscarriages (3). By comparison, hemangiomas are much more common and occur in as many as 10% of 1 year olds (5). Lymphatic malformations are found equally in boys and girls (5). Lymphatic malformations are commonly diagnosed in infancy with more than half of the cases identified prenatally or postpartum and more than 90% diagnosed by the 2nd or 3rd year of life (4,6). Lymphatic malformations rarely regress after birth but can remain asymptomatic until later in life when trauma or infections can cause lymphatic malformations to rapidly grow and interfere with other structures (7).
Seventy-five percent of lymphatic malformations are found in the head and neck but lymphatic malformations can occur anywhere (1). Generally, the most common sites are in the head and neck, mediastinum, axilla, and abdomen (1). Lymphangiomas that are microcystic superficial lesions of the skin or mucous membranes have many names: lymphangioma simplex, lymphangioma circumscriptum, capillary lymphangioma and angiokeratoma circumscriptum (4,9). Deeper lymphangiomas can be either microcystic (cavernous lymphangiomas), macrocystic (lymphangioma cystoides, cystic hygromas, or cystic lymphangiomas), or mixed microcystic-macrocystic (4,9).
The etiology of lymphangiomas is unknown (10). However, cystic hygromas have been found to be associated with chromosomal abnormalities such as Turner syndrome and Down syndrome (2,3). Chromosomal abnormalities are usually associated with other congenital findings such as mental or developmental retardation, heart defects, or alterations in the development of sexual characteristics at puberty.
Diagnosis is principally made on the basis of clinical appearance and imaging. For example, capillary lymphangiomas or lymphangioma simplex are superficial white, purple, or red papules that appear wart-like (9). Such superficial lymphangiomas are usually asymptomatic but can become infected. They can occasionally bleed when the superficial lymphangioma is in communication with ruptured blood vessels. Lymphangioma circumscriptum are superficial clusters of papules that are said to look like frog eggs (9). Lymphangioma circumscriptum is also found in skin or mucous membrane but extend deeper into the dermis than lymphangioma simplex (9). Cavernous lymphangiomas usually involve the skin or mucous membranes but they extend deeper into muscle where they form small, thin-walled, lymph fluid filled spaces referred to as microcysts (9).
Cystic lymphangiomas or cystic hygromas are large, well-circumscribed, loculated, lymph fluid-filled spaces (macrocysts) (3,9). Large loculated cysts tend to occur in areas where expansion is possible such as the deep lymph vessels in the neck and head or near other organs. These deep lymphangiomas can be asymptomatic or they can present with signs and symptoms associated with serious complications. Cystic hygromas, usually identified prenatally or antenatally, are especially serious. Considerable lymphedema can accompany growing cystic hygromas which can sometimes lead to hydrops fetalis and intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD) or early perinatal neonatal death (early PND) due to circulatory failure (3). Additionally, the size and position of the cyst may complicate vaginal delivery (3).
When aspirated, the cystic space fluid includes proteinaceous fluid with few lymphocytes (1). MRI findings are important in distinguishing between lymphangiomas and other vascular malformations (1). Arterial or venous vascular malformations enhance with contrast during MRI contrast studies, while lymphatic malformations do not. CT scans can also help differentiate venous malformations from lymphangiomas as well as help identify hemorrhages. Plain film radiographs can identify associated skeletal deformities. Ultrasound imaging is particularly useful during the perinatal/neonatal period (4).
Specimen biopsies of superficial lesions show typical lymphatic vessels lined by well differentiated, flat, endothelial cells (3,8). Deeper lesions show dilated and interconnected lymph vessels that can form loculations (3).
The differential diagnosis includes lymphadenitis, other congenital vascular malformations (hemangiomas, branchial cleft cyst, cellulitis, dermoid cyst), and tumors. Bloody lymphangiomas are often easily confused with hemangiomas or Kaposi's sarcoma (4). Because of the variable location of lymphangiomas, the differential diagnosis should also include site-specific pathologies. For example, the differential diagnosis of a nuchal cystic hygroma should include encephalocele or meningocele, and tumors of the head and neck (3).
Small superficial lymphangiomas are generally left untreated if asymptomatic (1). Cystic hygromas identified in a fetus are especially concerning. The fetus is assessed for additional abnormalities that would increase the risk of fetal death or poor postpartum prognosis such as chromosomal abnormalities, hydrops fetalis, and large cyst volumes (2). These factors are important in whether or not the fetus is aborted or delivered vaginally or by cesarean section. In the U.S., deep lymphangiomas such as cystic hygromas and larger superficial lymphangiomas are surgically excised (1,3,6). However, surgical excision is difficult because of the delicate nature of thin-walled lymphatic tissue and the close proximity of lymphatic malformations to nerves, organs, and blood vessels (3,6). As a consequence, complete excision is possible in less than a third of the cases (6). Incomplete excision does eliminate the space occupying effects of the lesion but are complicated by a high risk of recurrence and infection (3).
In sclerotherapy, drugs including bleomycin, OK-432 (derivative of low virulence Group A streptococcus pyogenes), and fibrin adhesives are used to stimulate sclerosis and regression (6). In the U.S,. sclerotherapy is generally reserved for recurrent or unresectable lymphangiomas but, in some small studies, sclerotherapy agents have been used in place of surgical excision with good results (3,6). Sclerotherapy complications include ulcers, scarring, and recurrence of lymphangiomas (3,7). Other treatment options include interferon-alpha treatment (7), laser ablation or radiation treatment. Radiation treatment carries a number of complications and is usually reserved as a treatment of last resort (7).
