More rare causes are Gorham's disease and tuberculosis Case: A 31-year-old male complained of swelling left arm and shortness of breath with recurrent pleural effusion.

Thoracic CT showed left lung mass, atelectasis, massive fluidothorax, ipsilateral supraclavicular lymphadenopathy, destructive left scapula. Needleaspiration of left humerus revealed lymphangioma.
