Cavernous lymphangioma presenting as a vaginal discharge in a six-year-old female: a case report.

STUDY OBJECTIVE: This case report is written to describe a new and unusual presentation of retroperitoneal cavernous lymphangioma. INTERVENTIONS: A large cystic abdominal mass was discovered during an examination under anesthesia to evaluate a vaginal discharge in a 6-year-old girl. The mass was diagnosed by computed tomography (CT) and removed via laparotomy with argon beam coagulation of smaller cystic lesions. RESULTS: Six months postoperatively, the patient had a negligible amount of vaginal discharge. CONCLUSIONS: Cavernous lymphangioma should be considered as a rare cause of vaginal discharge in young females.

Secondary malignancy of the thyroid gland: a case report and review of the literature.

Metastatic cancer to the thyroid gland is uncommon. In this report we describe a patient with a malignant fibrous histiocytoma that metastasized to the thyroid, possibly to a preexisting thyroid nodule. A review of the literature reveals that breast and lung carcinoma are the most frequently identified sources of secondary thyroid carcinoma found at autopsy, while renal carcinoma comprises over 50% of secondary thyroid malignancies discovered clinically. A number of authors suggest that preexisting thyroid disease (i.e., multinodular goiter and thyroid nodules) may provide a nidus for metastases to the thyroid gland.
