A Home page about a RARE CASE OF LYMPHANGIOMA
Hello and welcome to my web page.
What is
Lymphangioma?(in
general) Lymphangioma
is a lymphatic malformation and is rare defect in
the lymphatic system.It is an
inborn tumor of the lymphatic system that, in some rare cases,
may be inherited as an autosomal recessive genetic trait. This
progressive disorder is characterized by a large sac filled with
lymph fluid protruding from the skull at the nape of the neck.
The Lymphangioma is thought to be caused by a failure of the
lymph system to properly connect with the blood vessels in the
neck and thus with the appropriate blood circulation system.
My case of
Lymphangioma :
the full name of my illness is :
Systemic Lymphangiomatosis.
My case of Lymphangioma is very rare.In 1989 when I was 12 years old , I was diagnosed with Lymphangioma on my right leg and foot in Isfahan . Then I had 2 operations on my leg but they were not successful. After operations I had Radio therapy on my leg. Radio therapy improved my condition a little but it hurt the skin of my leg. In 1991 I went to Germany to find a treatment for this very rare illness.I stayed about 2 years in Germany at Kinderklinik and Grosshadern hospital in Munich. There I had Interferon 1.2 mg injection everyday for 18 months and . Despite suffering from Lymphangioma which has been always with me since 1989 I have tried to run a normal life and I have been almost successful. I have been admitted to university and now I am studying my favorite course which is software engineering .Now I am catching up with my every day schedule and I very much hope to find a cure for my rare disease.
Special thanks to Prof.Dr. Hadorn my doctor at Kinderklinik in Munich and my family whose help to me was very great.
