“…Complete excision is required to avoid recurrence of the cyst and its symptoms if a diagnosis of lymphangioma is made [15, 16]. In this case, we made a diagnosis of cystic lymphangioma after the operation.…”

An adult case of lymphangioma of the hepatoduodenal ligament mimicking a hepatic cyst

BackgroundIntra-abdominal lymphangiomas are rare, benign tumors in adults. This report is the third documented case of a lymphangioma originating in the hepatoduodenal ligament that mimicked a simple liver cyst.Case presentationA 50-year-old woman was admitted with a cystic tumor in the right lobe of her liver and underwent laparoscopic excision of the cyst. Operative findings revealed that the cyst had developed in the hepatoduodenal ligament, not in the liver. A small part of the cystic wall remained on the dorsal surface of the hepatoduodenal ligament. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells stained positive only for D2-40, leading to a diagnosis of lymphangioma (cystic type). Six months later, a cystic tumor recurred and was completely excised via laparotomy. No recurrence was observed after the second operation.ConclusionsThe incomplete excision of the cystic tumor led us to re-operate 6 months after the first operation for the local disease recurrence.

“…Dado que los tumores son estructuras quísticas con áreas de necrosis grasa y hemorragia, y en ocasiones llenos de líquido espeso, gelatinoso o lechoso, la resección quirúrgica completa es el tratamiento de elección para eliminar los síntomas, la posibilidad de extensión a otros órganos y prevenir complicaciones o recurrencias (14).…”

Linfangioma mesentérico quístico de intestino delgado simulando tumoración ovárica Mesenteric cystic lymphangioma of small bowel mimicking ovarian tumorIsmael Suárez-Torres1 , Eduardo Reyna-Villasmil2, Duly Torres-Cepeda2 ResumenEl linfangioma quístico, caracterizado por proliferación de los espacios linfáticos, es una lesión infrecuente en pacientes adultos. Menos del 1% de todos los linfangiomas corresponden a linfangiomas del intestino delgado. La presentación clínica es diversa, variando desde un quiste abdominal asintomático, diagnosticado de forma incidental, a un cuadro de abdomen agudo. Se presenta un caso de linfangioma mesentérico quístico del intestino delgado en una mujer de 30 años quien consultó por dolor abdominal y vómitos. La ecografía y la tomografía computada abdominal mostraron un quiste con múltiples septos en el cuadrante inferior derecho simulando un tumor de ovario. En la laparotomía se encontró un tumor quístico, lobulado y marrón, procedente del mesenterio del intestino delgado. A la paciente se le realizó resección de la tumoración y del intestino delgado adyacente con reconstrucción del tránsito intestinal. La evaluación histoló-gica confirmó el diagnóstico de linfangioma mesentérico quístico.Palabras claves: Linfangioma; Linfangioma mesentérico quístico; Tumor abdominal; Intestino delgado. AbstractCystic lymphangioma, characterized by proliferation of lymphatic spaces, is an infrequent lesion in adult patients. Less than 1% of all lymphangiomas correspond to small-bowel lymphangiomas. Clinical presentation can be diverse ranging from incidental abdominal cysts to an acute abdomen. We report a case of small bowel mesenteric cystic lymphangioma in a 30 yearsold woman who presented with abdominal pain and vomiting. The abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography scan showed a cystic multiseptated mass at the right lower quadrant mimicking an ovarian tumor. Laparotomy found a lobulated, brown, cystic tumor from the small bowel mesentery. The patient underwent resection of the tumor and the adjacent small intestine with reconstruction of the intestinal transit. The histological study confirmed diagnosis of mesenteric cystic lymphangioma.

“…However, when the cyst grows too large, it could trigger some symptoms, such as infection, bleeding in the cyst, and constriction of the tissues, or even flatulence and hydronephrosis. Patients can occasionally palpate a painless mass on the abdomen [ 12 ]. The disease is easy to misdiagnose [ 13 ] and must be distinguished from other abdominal cysts, such as liver cysts, renal cysts, pancreas cysts, ovarian cysts, cystic teratoma and tumor cystic lesions [ 14 ].…”

Extraperitoneal laparoscopic resection for retroperitoneal lymphatic cysts: initial experience

et al. 2017

BackgroundTo assess the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic retroperitoneal resection for retroperitoneal lymphatic cysts.MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted based on clinical data from eight patients with hydronephrosis caused by retroperitoneal lymphatic cysts. All patients underwent laparoscopic retroperitoneal lymphatic cyst resection and received postoperative follow-up. A follow-up ultrasound was performed postoperatively every 6–12 months to evaluate the recovery of the hydronephrosis.ResultsAll operations were successful, and their postoperative pathological results revealed lymphatic cyst walls. The operation time ranged from 43 to 88 min (mean: 62 min), with a blood loss of 20 to 130 mL (mean: 76 mL), and the length of hospital stay was 3 to 6 days (mean: 4.5 days). Within the follow-up of 12 to 36 months (mean: 28.5 months), great relief was detected in all eight cases, and no recurrence was found. Moreover, complications such as renal pedicle or renal pelvis injury were not observed.ConclusionsLaparoscopic retroperitoneal lymphatic cyst resection is an effective treatment for retroperitoneal lymphatic cysts and has the advantages of being minimally invasive, producing less intraoperative blood loss and leading to a quick recovery. This treatment thus deserves further studies.
