Symptoms of Lymphangioma in Children

Lymphangioma is a disease with a high complication rate, especially for children. What are the symptoms of lymphangioma in children? In the early stages of the disease, lymphangioma often presents with fever as the main symptom. In the later stages, as the disease worsens, patients will experience symptoms of weight loss and anemia. Parents must take their children to a regular hospital for treatment as soon as possible to avoid further deterioration of the disease.

The order of incidence of childhood tumors is leukemia and central nervous system tumors, malignant lymphoma, various blastomas (common ones are neuroblastoma, nephroblastoma, hepatoblastoma and retinoblastoma, etc.), teratoma and rhabdomyosarcoma, osteosarcoma, etc. They can occur at all ages during childhood, and some malignant tumors such as neuroblastoma can originate in the embryonic period, that is, they are discovered in the neonatal period.

Systemic manifestations: long-term fever, especially fever that is not effective after short-term antiviral and antibiotic treatment; obvious weight loss, no weight gain or weight loss in a short period of time; weakness and fatigue; worsening anemia and pale complexion; endocrine disorders, such as disproportionate obesity or precocious puberty.

Local manifestations: mainly local pain, lumps, and a series of symptoms caused by the compression of the lumps on surrounding organs. Masses on the body surface are easier to detect early, but masses located in hidden parts of the body cavity are difficult for parents to detect early. At this time, parents should pay attention to whether there are any symptoms caused by the tumor compressing adjacent organs, such as mediastinal tumors can cause difficulty breathing or shortness of breath; abdominal tumors often cause nausea, vomiting and intestinal obstruction symptoms due to compression of the gastrointestinal tract; sacral or pelvic tumors can cause abnormal bowel movements or urination.

The above analysis of the symptoms of childhood lymphangioma is very clear. As parents, you must carefully observe your child's every move. If your child has symptoms of persistent fever or a lump in the body, do not neglect it. You must take your child to a regular hospital to treat the disease to avoid lymphangioma causing more serious harm to your child.
