Lymphangioma is rare. Lymphangioma, is a lymphatic malformation, a benign proliferation of lymph vessels, or a yellow-ish tumor on the skin, composed of a mass of dilated lymph vessels. It is often removed by surgery or a form of surgery using an electric current electrocoagulation for cosmetic reasons. It is rare, incidence estimated to be around 1 per 10 000 live births. They are fluid filled sacs that result from blockage of the lymphatic system. They are often associated with karyotype abnormalities such as Turner syndrome. These tumors may occur anywhere but usually occur in the head and neck (75%), with a predilection for the left side. Most (90%) are either evident at birth or become evident before age 2 years. Other types of Lymphangioma are Cystic lymphangioma(Cystic Hygroma), Lymphangioma cavernosum and Lymphangioma circumscriptum. The tumor is a hamartoma or vascular developmental abnormality arising from lymphatic vessels, manifesting as a raised, soft, shaggy, bubbly, pinkish-white lesion; cosmetic considerations may warrant attempted But don't fret if you have it. I have it. Mine's below my belly button, but above my groin. When it fills with blood (It turns a dark red or purple), It is irritated. You won't get a tumor unless it's in/on your neck. Your choices are: Get it removed in surgery (though it may come back due to the fact that it's a virus) or just live with it. Unless It starts to spread to your neck, I wouldn't bother it. Surgery is an option. If it has started to grow into a tumor, you should definatly get it removed (Age usually doesn't matter).

What is the medical term meaning instrument used to visualize the esophagus?

The instrument is called an ENDOSCOPE. It is used to perform ENDOSCOPY. These terms are general terms, hence I have capitalized them. The endoscope that is used to perform endoscopy is basically a flexible fiberoptic scope with an eyepiece or camera on one end and a lens on the other end. These are used to look inside of body cavities or hollow organs - tubes such as the esophagus. Endo means "to look inside", and scope describes the instrument that does it. Endoscopy means the process of looking inside. Medically, the terms are changed depending on what procedure or part of the body is being addressed. Examples are - Colon -o -scopy the process of looking inside the colon. Esophago-gastro-duodeno-scopy the process of looking inside the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. Also known as "Upper G.I." Laparoscopy the process of looking in the abdominal or pelvic cavity, usually through a small incision and commonly associated with surgery. "Laparoscopic Surgery". A similar instrument is used in other industries such as aerospace, boilermaking, and plumbing and is known as a "Borescope".

Non-surgical ptosis correction device?

I do not know of any nonsurgical correction for ptosis. I had it in one eye and had surgery for it. The surgery was outpatient and not bad at all. Painful once the pain medicine wears off, but that's what the pain medicine is for. Ice it down for a few days and then the sutures inside the lid dissolve. I would recommend anyone to have the surgery (as long as they have insurance). I can see better and I look more normal without the drooping. Unfortunately, I am having problems with the other eye now. Please post a message if anyone has a nonsurgical correction...
