Lymphangitis carcinomatosa : ウィキペディア英語版 | Lymphangitis carcinomatosa Lymphangitis carcinomatosa is inflammation of the lymph vessels (lymphangitis) caused by a malignancy. Breast, lung, stomach, pancreas, and prostate cancers are the most common tumors that result in lymphangitis. Lymphangitis carcinomatosa was first described by pathologist Gabriel Andral in 1829 in a patient with uterine cancer. Lymphangitis carcinomatosis most often affects people 40-49 years of age. ==Pathology== In most cases, lymphangitis carcinomatosis is caused by the dissemination of a tumor with its cells along the lymphatics.〔 However, in about 20 percent of cases, the inflammation of the lymphatic tubules (lymphangitis) is caused by a tumor that blocks the drainage of the lymph duct. In the lung, this is often caused by a centrally located mass, near the hilum of the lung that blocks lymphatic drainage.
