title: Lymphangiomatosis of bone and soft tissue (results of lymphangiographic examinations).
abstract: The results of clinical roentgenologic examination of 2 patients with lymphangiomatosis are discussed. The analysis of angiographic findings has shown that arteries and veins remained unchanged in affected area. Lymphography revealed fully changed lymphatics in affected areas. Numerous markedly dilated lymph vessels and cystic cavities of different shape and size were noted. In bony spongiosus substance the fissural spaces were filled with oily contrast medium. Roentgenologically, they appeared as numerous small conglomerates limited to bone contours.
