Lymphangioma diagnostic study of choice
Overview Diagnostic Study of Choice Study of choice MRI is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of lymphangioma.[1] MRI can mar the degree of involvement and extent of lesion. MRI can prevent extensive, incomplete surgical resection, because poorly removed lesion can lead to recurrence.
Biopsy Biopsy and histochemical staining is recommended to document lymphangioma.[2]
In addition to above, various investigations must be performed in the following order:[3][4] Plain radiograph Ultrasound CT scan
