Summary
Ovarian lymphangioma, a rare benign tumor, can present as a symptomatic pelvic mass. This case highlights the importance of histopathological examination for accurate diagnosis of ovarian lymphangioma.
Area of Science:
- Gynecologic Oncology
- Vascular Anomalies
- Surgical Pathology
Background:
- Lymphangiomas are rare, benign lymphatic tumors with a predilection for the head, neck, and axilla.
- Ovarian involvement is exceptionally rare, often presenting diagnostic challenges due to its unusual location.
Observation:
- A 33-year-old female presented with a six-month history of lower abdominal pain and weight loss.
- Imaging revealed a complex cystic lesion in the right adnexal region, suspicious for neoplasm.
Findings:
- Surgical exploration and subsequent histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of ovarian lymphangioma.
- This rare benign tumor presented as a symptomatic pelvic mass.
Implications:
- This case underscores the need to consider rare diagnoses in the differential of adnexal masses.
- Accurate histopathological diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management of ovarian lymphangioma.

The menstrual cycle includes a critical component known as the ovarian cycle, which undergoes two main phases each month—the follicular phase and the luteal phase. The follicular phase is variable and averaging around 14 days. Ovulation, triggered by a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH), marks the transition between the two phases. The second phase, the luteal phase, is relatively consistent, lasting approximately 14 days, and is marked by the activity of the corpus luteum. While a cycle...

The ovaries are roughly the size of almonds and measure approximately 2 to 3 centimeters in length. These paired structures are situated within the pelvic region and are anchored by the mesovarium—a peritoneal extension that also connects them to the wider structure of the broad ligament. The support system extends to the suspensory ligament, housing blood and lymphatic vessels. In addition, the ovarian ligament tethers the ovaries to the uterus.
