Sclerotherapy of abdominal lymphangioma: An effective treatment modality

Abdominal lymphangioma is rare in children. The etiopathogenesis and the treatment modalities to be used are not clearly defined. We report a case of a 4-year-old male patient presenting with abdominal pain. On examination, there was a mass in the left flank. CT showed an intraperitoneal multiloculated cystic lesion. The patient was given intralesional bleomycin therapy and followed up, there was no recurrence. Abdominal malformations should be considered for cases with gradually enlarging abdominal lumps. Treatment with intralesional bleomycin yields excellent outcomes and should be preferred in cases where complete surgical resection is not feasible.
