Summary

Intraabdominal lymphangiomas are rare. This case highlights a gallbladder cavernous lymphangioma, diagnosed preoperatively using advanced imaging techniques like MR and MR cholangiopancreatography.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Radiology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Intraabdominal lymphangiomas are uncommon and pose diagnostic challenges.
  • Cavernous lymphangioma is a rare subtype of lymphatic malformation.

Observation:

  • A multiseptated cystic mass was identified in the gallbladder fossa using ultrasonography (US) and computed tomography (CT).
  • Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and MR cholangiopancreatography revealed the cystic mass originating from the gallbladder, with thin septations.
  • Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography confirmed no communication between the cyst and the gallbladder.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed the mass as a cavernous lymphangioma.
  • The characteristic histology was located in the subserosal layer of the gallbladder.

  • This represents a rare instance of a gallbladder-originating cavernous lymphangioma.

    • Implications:

    • Advanced MR imaging and MR cholangiopancreatography can aid in the preoperative diagnosis of gallbladder lymphangioma.
    • Understanding the imaging features is crucial for differentiating this rare entity from other cystic lesions.
    • This case expands the known spectrum of intraabdominal lymphangioma presentations.
