A Home page about a CASE OF LYMPHANGIOMA
Hello and welcome to my web page.
I am 26 years old and I am a computer software engineer. It is about 14 years that I am suffering from Lymphangioma. So far I haven't found a treatment for my ailment. So I decided to build a Home page to obtain information and probably a treatment for it. This Home page has non-profit purpose and intends to find people who have information about Lymphangioma and its treatment (e.g. Dr.s , medical centers and etc.) and to know the people that are anguished with the same disease .So we can make contact with each other and share our experiences. I need your experiences in this case and am very much obliged to anybody with any kind of help. Thanks.
What is Lymphangioma?(in general) Lymphangioma
is a lymphatic malformation and is rare defect in the lymphatic
system.It is an inborn tumor of the lymphatic
system that, in some rare cases, may be inherited as an autosomal recessive
genetic trait. This progressive disorder is characterized by a large sac filled
with lymph fluid protruding from the skull at the nape of the neck. The
Lymphangioma is thought to be caused by a failure of the lymph system to
properly connect with the blood vessels in the neck and thus with the
appropriate blood circulation system.
My case of Lymphangioma :
In 1989 when I was 12 years old , I was diagnosed with Lymphangioma on my right leg and foot. Then I had 2 operations on my leg but they were not successful. After operations I had Radio therapy on my leg. Radio therapy improved my condition a little but it hurt the skin of my leg. In 1991 I went to Germany to find a treatment for this illness.I stayed about 2 years in Germany at Kinderklinik and Grosshadern hospital in Munich. There I had Interferon 1.2 mg injection everyday for 18 months.The interferon injection did not help me very much.Therefore in September 1993 I returned to Isfahan and since then I had to take a trip to Germany every 2 years to have my condition checked.Despite suffering from Lymphangioma which has been always with me since 1989 I have tried to run a normal life and I have been almost successful. I have been admitted to university and I have studied my favorite course which is software engineering .Now I am catching up with my every day schedule and I very much hope to find a cure for my disease.
Special thanks to Prof.Dr. Hadorn and Prof. Dr. Grantzow my doctors at Kinderklinik in Munich and my family whose help to me was very great.
