Core Tip

Core Tip: The clinical features of hemolymphangioma are often atypical, and it is easy to miss and misdiagnose. When the time of nuclear magnetic T1 is significantly reduced, the diagnosis of hemolymphangioma should be considered. Retroperitoneal hemolymphangiomas are usually very large and puncture drainage can be an early treatment option.
