Abstract:

Two cases of lymphangiomatosis of bone, a very rare systemic condition characterized by both skeletal and parenchymal lesions, are presented. The skeletal changes have an appearance similar to haemangiomas in the spine, and soap-bubbly lesions in the flat bones. One case carried the diagnosis of eosinophilic granuloma for 18 years. The findings on MRI, which have not been previously well-established, are discussed.

Keywords: lymphangiomatosis; MRI; skeletal
