Abdominal lymphatic malformations (ALM) are rare congenital lesions. Surgical resection offers the best outcome, preventing recurrence and complications, though imaging can misdiagnose cases.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Vascular Anomalies
  • Congenital Lesions

Context:

  • Lymphatic malformations (LM) are congenital vascular anomalies.
  • Abdominal location of LMs is infrequent compared to head and neck.
  • This study focuses on abdominal lymphatic malformations (ALM) in pediatric patients.

Purpose:

  • To analyze the clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic experience in managing pediatric ALM.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of surgical management for ALM.
  • To highlight diagnostic challenges and outcomes in ALM.

Summary:

  • A retrospective study of 10 pediatric patients with ALM managed between 1996 and 2011.
  • Acute abdomen was the most frequent presentation (40%).
  • Surgical laparotomy enabled complete resection in all cases, with histology confirming diagnosis, despite 60% imaging misdiagnosis. No recurrences were observed during the mean 18-month follow-up.

Impact:

  • Highlights the non-specific presentation of ALM, often requiring surgical intervention.
  • Emphasizes the limitations of diagnostic imaging, underscoring the definitive role of histology.
  • Establishes total surgical resection as the optimal strategy for ALM management to prevent recurrence and minimize complications.
