Popis: | Immediately after birth, a skin-covered mass with weak consistency was noted on the back of a full-term newborn boy. Ultrasound and MRI (performed to exclude spina bifida occulta) showed a multicystic venolymphatic malformation. Sclerotherapy or surgical excision are possible treatments. In asymptomatic patients, however, a watchful waiting approach is used. |
