clinically because they represent a spectrum of different lesions, ranging from benign to malignant. At times, the final diagnosis is made only at surgery. We report a final diagnosis of a pancreatic cystic lymphangioma, made using endoscopic ultrasound fine needle aspiration (EUSFNA) in a young girl, with cytological examination and measurement of the level of triglycerides in the intracystic ...

Lymphangioma of the pancreas is a rare benign tumor of lymphatic origin. Retroperitoneal lymphangiomas account for 1% of all lymphangiomas. Herein, we report a case of cystic pancreatic lymphangioma diagnosed in 34 year-old female patient who was hospitalized for a slight pain in the epigastrium and vomiting. Radiological imaging revealed a large multiloculated cystic abdominal mass with enhanc...

Cystic lymphangioma of the small-bowel mesentery is a rare manifestation of an intraabdominal tumor in elderly patients. We present a case of a small-bowel mesentery lymphangioma, causing fever and chills and present clinical and pathologic features. Furthermore, etiology and differential diagnosis of this tumor are discussed.

Retroperitoneal lymphangioma is a rare location and type of benign abdominal tumors. The clinical presentation of this rare disease is nonspecific, ranging from abdominal distention to sepsis. Here we present a 73-year-old female patient with 3-month history of back pain. USG and CT revealed a huge cystic mass which was surgically excised and appeared to be lymphangioma on histopathology.

Lymphangioma consists of lymph vesselslike structures. Are considered benign tumors of such vessels. Presents three histological types: cystic cavernous and simple and can occur in different regions of the body such as head and neck, mesentery and gastrointestinal tract1,5,6. This publication aims to expose a rare case of cavernous lymphangioma, diagnosed after extensive workup for upper gastro...

KEY CLINICAL MESSAGE Abdominal cystic lymphangiomas are rare and occur secondary to congenital malformation of the lymphatics, mostly in the mesenterium. Acute or chronic volvulus of the small bowel may occur by traction of the lymphangioma. Therapy includes resection of the lymphangioma and of the small bowel involved.

INTRODUCTION Cystic lymphangiomas of abdomen has mostly involved mesentery and retro peritoneum that should be considered as a differential diagnosis of abdominal masses. Pancreatic lymphangiomas were extremely rare that should be differentiated from neoplastic pancreatic cysts. Patients have commonly presented with epigastric pain and a relevant palpable epigastric mass. CASE PRESENTATION A ...

Cystic lymphangiomas of the mesocolon are very rare in adults. They are usually asymptomatic, but can present with an acute abdomen. We report an adult patient with cystic lymphangioma of the mesocolon that manifested with peritonitis. A 33-year-old man presented with fever and severe pain with muscle guarding in the left abdomen. Laboratory data indicated high-grade inflammation. Enhanced comp...

Cavernous lymphangioma (cystic hygroma) is a rare form of mesenteric cystic tumor, which can be located anywhere along the intestinal mesenterium or elsewhere in the body. Mesenteric cystic tumors are rare malformations. They are more common in pediatric population with estimated incidence to be 1 in 20.000 patients, rarely they occur in adults with estimated incidence to be 1 in 100.000 patien...

We present a case of haemoperitoneum in a child, who presented with signs of acute abdomen with subacute intestinal obstruction. Abdominal paracentesis aspirated fresh blood. Ultrasound and CT scan abdomen showed loculated haemoperitoneum. A definitive diagnosis could not be made andan exploratory laparotomy was undertaken which revealed a large cystic lymphangioma of greater omentum with acute...
