Diffuse lymphangiomatosis: Are there any clinical or therapeutic standards?
2007, Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular SurgeryCitation Excerpt :However, the best results have been reported with pleurectomy, with or without thoracic duct ligation, whereas thoracic duct ligation alone was unsuccessful in all cases. Fibrin glue application may help control lymphatic leakage from exposed surfaces after pleurectomy.2 Other treatment options include interferon alfa and systemic chemotherapy with limited success, and radiation in fractioned dose has been promising for patients with extensive mediastinal disease.5
Pediatric thoracic lymphangiomatosis: Is chest wall resection too radical?
2004, Annals of Thoracic SurgeryCitation Excerpt :However, there is still no agreement as to the best radiation doses to treat this disease [7, 8]. The classic surgical procedures involve pleurodesis, ligation of the thoracic duct, and pleuroperitoneal shunts [7, 9]. We have not found chest wall resection reported in pediatric patients.
