title: Een Geval Van Caverneus Lymfangioma Met Interne Complicaties.
abstract: The authors describe a case of cavernous lymphangioma of the thigh. This case was complicated by severe septicaemia and acute tubular necrosis. Intensive reanimation, with haemodialysis and tracheal intubation was required. A lymphography after surgical excision of the tumor, shows a lymphatic block at the right side, far below the tumor's level. There exists an important extravasation of contrast medium. The rapport between this lymphangiopathy and the tumor is discussed. The litterature about lymphangioma is reviewed. The cavernous lymphangioma and the cystic hygroma are considerated being a different evolution of the same entity.
