Intra-abdominal lymphangioma

TL;DR: Findings were consistent with a benign mesenteric cystic lymphangioma, thought to most likely represent a congenital abnormality in the lymphatic system with subsequent sequestrations of lymphatic tissue during the embryonic period.

TL;DR: The clinical and pathology features, preoperative diagnostic challenges, and treatments of hepaticlymphangiomas, malformations of the liver lymphatic system, are reviewed.

TL;DR: The management of colonic lymphangioma depends on the individual situation; close surveillance or endoscopic therapy may be appropriate for asymptomatic lesions smaller than 2.5 cm in diameter and laparoscopic segmental colon resection may be recommended to excise relatively large submucosal lesions.

TL;DR: A 73-year-old man presented with a 5-month history of intermittent nausea, vomiting, central abdominal discomfort and a 17-pound weight loss over the past year, with the histopathology confirming a diagnosis of peripancreatic lymphangioma.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that mesenteric cysts and intra-abdominal cystic lymphangiomas are pathologically distinct, and that they can be differentiated by histologic and ultrastructural evidence.
