Subcutaneous Lymphatic malformation of the face in an adolescent. a Clinical photograph showing local swelling and moderate discoloration of the cheek (white arrows) and local deviation of the left ala of the nose (asterisk). The patient was suffered from esthetic disfigurement with the mass itself being painless. b Color-coded Duplex ultrasound documents the absence of intralesional flow, only focal vascularization along the septa. c Fat-saturated STIR MRI shows fluid-filled cavities in the subcutaneous tissue of the mixed-type lymphatic malformation (arrow). d Following contrast administration only septal structures show moderate enhancement (arrow). e Percutaneous contrast administration before sclerotherapy reveals partial communication between adjacent lymphatic cysts. Sclerotherapy resulted in subtotal regression of the mass
