Core Tip

Core Tip: This case report emphasizes the importance of accurate diagnosis using magnetic resonance imaging combined with patient history and pathology. Surgical resection is the most effective treatment for hemolymphangiomas, especially when their growth compresses surrounding tissues. Complete radical resection may be necessary to prevent recurrence. The risk of recurrence is low, and there have been no reports of malignant transformation.
