“…Pancreatic lymphangiomas, especially large, may also cause acute abdominal symptoms if rupture, haemorrhage, or inflammation takes place which, however, is extremely rare [ 3 ]. There are no specific laboratory examinations for pancreatic cystic lymphangiomas and tumour markers are within normal limits in most of the cases [ 2 ].…”

“…Lymphangiomas are rare benign tumours of lymphatic vascular origin [ 1 ]. They occur due to a local obstruction of the lymphatic flow causing lymphangiectasia [ 2 ]. They are mostly congenital, in case of lymphatic obstruction during the foetal development, but they may be caused by trauma, fibrosis, inflammation and radiotherapy as well [ 3 ].…”

“…Aparte de sus localizaciones en tejido neural y ocular, se pueden desarrollar en cualquier órgano, de tal modo que se estima que el 95 % de los linfangiomas ocurren en cuello y regiones axilares, y el 5 % restante en el abdomen (mesenterio, retroperitoneo, vísceras) y el tórax (pulmón y mediastino) (Karajgikar & Deshmukh, 2019). Los linfangiomas quísticos del páncreas (LQP), son lesiones excepcionales, estimándose que representan el 1 % de los linfangiomas de localización abdominal y el 0,2 % de todas las lesiones pancreáticas (Fujii et al, 2018;Chen et al, 2018;Bal et al, 2021;Almeida et al, 2022;Assefa et al, 2023). Desde su primer reporte, realizado por Koch en 1913, se han publicado alrededor de 140 casos en la literatura mundial (Karajgikar & Deshmukh, 2019;Bal et al, 2021;Ray et al, 2021).…”

“…Aunque los LQP son benignos, pueden crecer e infiltrar órganos vecinos; por lo que el tratamiento curativo implica la escisión total de la lesión; pues si la escisión es incompleta, el LQP puede recidivar (Santes & Chan, 2016;Viscosi et al, 2018;Bal et al, 2021;Almeida et al, 2022;Assefa et al, 2023).…”
