Retro-peritoneal cystic lymphangioma in association with fetal hydantoin syndrome.
Antiepileptic drugs are known to be teratogenic. Use of phenytoin during pregnancy can cause various congenital malformations leading to 'fetal hydantoin syndrome'. One such case reported is unique in the sense that it occurred with retroperitoneal cystic lymphangioma, itself a rare condition. Such an association is not described elsewhere.
