We present a case of cystic lymphangioma of the mediastinum complicated with situs inversus totalis. The 70-year-old man underwent thoracoscopic resection of a mediastinal cystic tumor, which was diagnosed as cystic lymphangioma. Cystic lymphangiomas are congenital cystic abnormalities of the lymphatic system. The head and neck area is often involved while the mediastinum is rarely affected. The rarity of this case is further attributed to the coexistence of situs inversus totalis.

New Onset

Lymphangiomas are rare benign malformations of the lymphatic system, commonly present in children, over the head and neck area. Occasionally, they can grow significantly in size and especially those located over the cervical region can cause airway obstruction and become life-threatening. Recurrent lymphangiomas usually occur during the early postsurgical period and 80% of them within the first 3 to 5 years. However, in a new onset of clinical manifestations affecting the head and neck, even many years after the successful surgical treatment, a recurrent lymphangioma should be considered in the differential diagnosis. We present herein the second reported case, to our knowledge, of a recurrent left-sided neck lymphangioma in a young man, 23 years after a successful surgical treatment that initially took place 6 weeks after his birth.

Lymphangiomas are congenital malformations of the lymphatic system. Multiple intra-abdominal cystic lymphangiomas are rare in adults. Author present a case of a 39-year-old male, presenting with recurrent episodes of haemorrhagic ascites. Laparoscopic biopsy and imaging investigations revealed multiple intra-abdominal cystic lymphangiomas involving the spleen, the liver and the retro-peritoneum. Surgical excision including splenectomy, excision of retroperitoneal and mesenteric lesions was done. The patient has been asymptomatic for 2 years on follow-up.

Abstract Background Anesthetic management of coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG) in a dextrocardia patient with situs inversus totalis is rarely encountered and seldom reported in the literature. Case presentation A 76-year-old Japanese female patient had been diagnosed with situs inversus totalis and coronary artery disease of 3 vessels, and she subsequently underwent elective CABG. A preoperative examination showed almost normal results. ECG showed right deviation with the normal lead position. In the operating room, ECG leads were applied in reverse. Pulmonary artery catheterization was performed via the left internal jugular vein. A transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) probe was introduced without difficulty. A different angle was needed to acquire the desired views because of her atypical anatomy. Conclusion Careful perioperative evaluation, intraoperative management, and inspection of multiplane angle and probe adjustments in TEE are needed for anatomically abnormal patients.
