Lymphangioma of bone is rare. To our knowledge this is the 5th case reported in Japan. A 14-year-old female was admitted to our hospital complaining of pain in the right half of the pelvis and high temperature without apparent cause.Radiologic examination showed deformity of the pelvic girdle and structural cystic changes in the 5th lumbar vertebra, iliac, ischial and pubic bones on the right. She was examined in detail. Open biopsy was performed. Histological diagnosis was developmental error of bone. After the biopsy, bilateral foot lymphangiography revealed numerous deformed varicose lymphatics. After 20h, contrast medium was accumulated in the pelvic bones. Six months later, open biopsy was repeated. We finally made a diagnosis of lymphangiomas of bones.
