Lymphangiolipoma of the lower extremity: 5-year radiological follow-up after radiotherapy treatment.
This report describes a lymphangiolipoma located in the extremity in a young woman. Radiotherapy effectively controlled recurrent lymphangiolipoma of the left upper leg that had been judged inoperable by limb-sparing surgical resection. In the case presented here, a dose of 50 Gy in 25 fractions over 5 weeks was employed without long-term complications after 5-year follow-up.
