title: Macrocystic lymphatic malformation in the pulmonary parenchyma.
abstract: We present a young girl with a diffuse, macrocystic lymphatic malformation with associated venous dilation involving the left lower pulmonary lobe and mediastinum. Recurrent hemoptysis necessitated left lower lobectomy. This is the first reported case of a macrocystic lymphatic lesion with venous anomalies located within the parenchyma of the lung.
