Fetal hemangiolymphangioma: a case report

Fetal Diagn Ther. 1993 Sep-Oct;8(5):338-40. doi: 10.1159/000263849.

Abstract

Hemangiolymphangioma is a malformation of both lymphatic and blood vessels. We present a case of fetal abdominal hemolymphangioma diagnosed by ultrasound at 27 weeks of gestation. The extensive fetal involvement, and the diagnosis before fetal viability led us to propose medical termination of pregnancy. This represents the second reported case of prenatal diagnosis of this malformation.
