Oncological surgical pathology

OBJECTIVE. This article reviews the embryologic development, relevant anatomy, and imaging features, on CT, of pathologic processes involving the lesser sac and foramen of Winslow. CONCLUSION. The lesser peritoneal sac is an intricate anatomic region involved in many disease processes. It is a significant conduit for the spread of disease within the peritoneal cavity. The spectrum of pathologic processes pertaining to the lesser sac can be classified on the basis of the type of involvement, such as a fluid collection (e.g., transudate, exudate, bile, and blood), a mass (e.g., neoplastic or nonneoplastic conditions and lymphadenopathy), or an internal hernia into the lesser sac.

The Lesser Sac and Foramen of Winslow: Anatomy, Embryology, and CT Appearance of Pathologic Processes

Cystic lymphangioma is a benign lymphatic malformation that primarily affects children, with rare occurrences in adults. These malformations are most commonly found in the head and neck region, though their presence in the abdominal cavity is infrequent. In this report, we present the case of 71-year-old women with a cystic lymphangioma located in the omental bursa. The rarity of this condition in adults, combined with its unusual abdominal location, highlights the unique aspects of this case. This report explores the clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and management strategies for these uncommon lymphatic malformations.
