TY - JOUR AB - <p>A splenic lymphangioma removed from the abdom­inal cavity during an exploratory laparotomy in a 16 year old girl was studied by light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The tumor was composed of numerous vascular chan­nels some of which were filled with clotted lymph. SEM revealed these channels to be lined with an uniform endothelial lining composed of two mor­phologic cell types: one with a smooth surface; the other with numerous microvilli. The literature on the SEM of lymphatic vessels and lymphangiomas is reviewed and compared to the splenic lymph­angioma.</p> AU - D Gnepp, S Shah DA - 1982/9// IS - 2 VL - 15 PB - International Society of Lymphology and the University of Arizona Libraries PY - 1982 TI - SPLENIC LYMPHANGIOMA: LUMINAL SURFACE ULTRASTRUCTURE; A SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPIC STUDY T2 - Lymphology UR - http://journals.librarypublishing.arizona.edu/lymph/article/id/4125/ ER -
