Targeted Therapies for Slow‐Flow Vascular Malformations
ABSTRACT Advances in genetic sequencing technologies have enabled the identification of key activating somatic variants in cellular signalling pathways involved in the pathogenesis of vascular malformations. Given that these genetic variants are also implicated in the pathogenesis of several cancers, the repurposing of targeted therapies developed in ...

Abstract Background Angiopoietin‐2 (Ang‐2) is increased in the blood of patients with kaposiform lymphangiomatosis (KLA) and kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE). While the genetic causes of KHE are not clear, a somatic activating NRASQ61R mutation has been found in the lesions of KLA patients.

How we use angiopoietin‐2 in the diagnosis and management of vascular anomalies
Abstract The diagnosis of vascular anomalies remains challenging due to significant clinical heterogeneity and uncertain etiology. Evaluation using biopsy and/or genetic testing for somatic variants is invasive, expensive, and prone to sampling error. There is great need for noninvasive and easily measured blood laboratory biomarkers that can aid not ...

Lymphangiomatosis – A Rare Disease in Pediatrics
Lymphangiomatosis is rare in both adults and children. We present an 11 year old boy with right chylothorax. The formation of chylothorax was a result of diffuse lymphangioma in the mediastinum spreading to the pleura.

Video_1_Laparoscopy for evaluating mesenteric lymphangiomatosis: A case report.mov
BackgroundLymphangiomatosis is an extremely rare disease with potential soft tissue, bone, and spleen involvement, which can be characterized by lymphangioma. Only a few cases of colon and mesenteric lymphangiomatosis have been reported. We report a case

Kaposiform lymphangiomatosis with Kasabach–Merritt phenomenon
Kaposiform lymphangiomatosis (KLA) is an aggressive lymphatic anomaly associated with bone involvement, serositis occurring at various sites, the development of Kasabach–Merritt phenomenon, and frequent infectious complications. The International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies classifies KLA as a subtype of generalized lymphatic anomaly.

Complex lymphatic anomalies: Challenging diagnostic considerations
This is a CT scan demonstrating an infiltrative mass that is invading the anterior mediastinum. This image is representative of a complex lymphatic anomaly, which can be difficult to diagnose and can have potentially life‐threatening complications with biopsies.
