Abstract
We report here the clinical and imaging findings of marked dilatation of the intraosseous lymphatic vessels, "megalymphatics," with chylous reflux presenting with pain and extensive lytic changes in a femoral bone of a child. Multimodality imaging findings, including radiographs, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, scintigraphy and percutaneous osseous lymphangiography are described.
