Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Vascular Malformations

Background:

  • Intra-abdominal lymphangiomas are rare congenital anomalies of the lymphatic system.
  • Most reported cases involve infants and young children, making adolescent cases infrequent.

Observation:

  • A 13-year-old boy presented with symptoms suggestive of a space-occupying lesion.
  • The patient had no prior medical history, indicating a de novo occurrence.

Findings:

  • The etiology is presumed to be a primary lymphatic malformation leading to channel enlargement.
  • Diagnostic imaging, including sonography and CT scans, aided in identifying the mass.
  • Clinical presentation included signs of obstruction and pressure due to the growing mass.

Implications:
