Angiomatosis in the neck and mediastinum: an example of low-flow vascular malformations.
A rare case of multiple low-flow vascular malformations in the larynx, neck and mediastinum - reported as angiomatosis in the literature - is described. Sonography, CT, angiography and MRI were performed in our case, followed by laryngoscopy with biopsies to establish the diagnosis. The radiological features and a review of relevant literature are briefly discussed.
