Lymphangiectasis, Intestinal
|
D008201 |

|
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis
|
D018192 |
[A disease characterized by the progressive invasion of SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS into the LYMPHATIC VESSELS, and the BLOOD VESSELS. The majority of the cases occur in the LUNGS of women of child-bearing age, eventually blocking the flow of air, blood, and lymph. The common symptom is shortness of breath (DYSPNEA).

Lymphangiomyoma
|
D008203 |
[A tumorlike condition characterized by SMOOTH MUSCLE and ENDOTHELIUM proliferation of LYMPHATIC VESSELS and LYMPH NODES in the MEDIASTINUM and retroperitoneum, also in the lung. It may be manifested by chylous PLEURAL EFFUSION and ASCITES.

|
Lymphangiosarcoma
|
D008204 |
[A malignant tumor originating from the endothelial cells of lymphatic vessels. Most lymphangiosarcomas arise in an arm secondary to radical mastectomy but they sometimes complicate idiopathic lymphedema. The lymphedema has usually been present for 6 to 10 years before malignant changes develop. (From Dorland, 27th ed; Holland et al., Cancer Medicine, 3d ed, p1866)

D015182 |
[External or interstitial irradiation to treat lymphomas (e.g., Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas) and lymph node metastases and also some autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis.

|
Lymphatic Metastasis
|
D008207 |
[Transfer of a neoplasm from its primary site to lymph nodes or to distant parts of the body by way of the lymphatic system.

|
Lymphatic System
|
D008208 |
[A system of organs and tissues that process and transport immune cells and LYMPH.
] |
|
Lymphatic Vessel Tumors
|
D018190 |
[Neoplasms composed of lymphoid tissue, a lattice work of reticular tissue the interspaces of which contain lymphocytes. The concept does not refer to neoplasms located in lymphatic vessels.
