Cystic lymphangiomas are extremely rare benign vascular neoplasms generally found in childhood. Thought to arise from obstructed lymphatic channels during development, but may also secondary trauma, inflammation, malignancy, and surgery or radiation exposure. They usually seen the head neck axillary region, rarely abdominal cavity with only 1% occurring retroperitoneum. These typically asymptom...

Vol. 20, No. 3 March 2013 JCOM 129 AbstrAct • Objective: To review the evaluation and management of pancreatic cystic lesions. • Methods: Review of the literature in the context of a clinical case. • Results: Pancreatic cysts are increasingly recognized due to the frequent use of abdominal imaging. Accurate characterization of these cysts is important not only to identify premalignant lesions t...

Context Recent guidelines for the management of cystic lesions of the pancreas recommend observation for selected neoplasms using imaging criteria. However, current imaging modalities lack diagnostic accuracy, and the indication for surgery is debated. Objective In this study we have explored the outcome of laparoscopic distal pancreatic resections in all patients referred with potential pancre...

Lymphoepithelial cysts of the pancreas are a type of true cyst that can mimic pseudocysts and cystic neoplasms. They are very rare, non-malignant lesions that are unilocular or multilocular cystic lesions lined predominantly by mature squamous epithelium and surrounded by non-neoplastic lymphoid elements. We, herein, present a patient with a cystic pancreas tumor mimicking a malignant cystic ne...

RATIONALE The accurate diagnosis and staging of cavitary lung cancer is challenging but essential for the choice of therapy; therefore, the differential diagnosis of cystic pulmonary lesions needs to be elucidated. PATIENT CONCERNS A patient was admitted with multifocal thin-walled cystic lesions in chest computed tomography. DIAGNOSES The patient had been diagnosed as heterogeneous bullous...

Methods A total 241 patients cystic-solid nodules who underwent ultrasound-guided percutaneous were retrospe...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the radiological and clinical findings of congenital cystic neuroblastomas as compared with those of the cystic presentation of neonatal adrenal hemorrhage. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed the US (n = 52), CT (n = 24), and MR (n = 4) images as well as the medical records of 28 patients harboring congenital cystic neuroblastomas (n = 16) and neonatal adrenal hemorrhagic...

Different types of benign or malignant cystic lesions can be observed in the pancreas. Pancreatic cystic lesions are classified under pathology terms into simple retention cysts, pseudocysts and cystic neoplasms. Mucinous cystic neoplasm is a frequent type of cystic neoplasm and has a malignant potential. Serous cystadenoma follows in frequency and is usually benign. Intraductal papillary mucin...
