Intra-abdominal lymphangioma, a rare congenital malformation, often presents as a cystic mass in adults, causing abdominal pain. Definitive diagnosis requires surgical removal and pathological examination for effective treatment and recurrence prevention.

Area of Science:

Vascular Malformations
Pediatric Surgery
Gastroenterology

Background:

Intra-abdominal lymphangioma is a rare congenital lymphatic vascular malformation.
It most commonly affects adult patients presenting with abdominal pain.

Observation:

Medical imaging (ultrasound, endoscopy, tomography) reveals cystic intra-abdominal masses.
These masses can be located on the mesentery, near abdominal viscera, or within the visceral wall.

Findings:

Diagnosis is challenging due to rarity and overlapping radiological signs with other pathologies.
Confirmation relies on anatomopathological examination with immunohistochemistry.

Implications:

Complete surgical excision is the recommended treatment to prevent recurrence.
