Jill and Mark Fishman Center for Lymphatic Disorders
The Jill and Mark Fishman Center for Lymphatic Disorders at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) provides highly specialized care for children and adults with lymphatic leaks and lymphatic flow disorders. Our Center is the first of its kind to manage these chronic conditions, which are sometimes undiagnosed and often difficult to treat.
Our experts are international leaders in the treatment of rare lymphatic disorders. We have developed advanced imaging technologies, such as dynamic contrast MR lymphangiography (DCMRL), to map out the anatomy and flow of the lymphatic system. This allows us to accurately diagnosis and manage many lymphatic conditions using minimally invasive treatments – many of which were developed here at CHOP.
How we serve you
Our program includes clinicians who are world leaders in managing rare lymphatic disorders. We bring together a team of experts from specialties across the hospital to provide the most advanced, specialized care available in a single location for your child.
