Isolated mediastinal lymphangioma in a child: A rare case report.

UNLABELLED: The mediastinum is an unusual location for cystic lymphangiomas. An 18-month-old male presented with acute fever, dry intermittent cough and respiratory distress. Chest radiography, ultrasonography, contrast-enhanced CT and MRI suggested a diagnosis of mediastinal cystic lymphangioma with internal haemorrhage. Surgical excision of the lesion and histopathological examination confirmed cystic lymphangioma.

CONTRIBUTION: This case highlights the multimodal radiological features of isolated mediastinal cystic lymphangioma for accurate diagnosis and improved management, to avoid unnecessary interventions and complications.
