“…Recent studies have demonstrated successful resection of abdominal lymphatic malformation using laparoscopy. 10,11 While complete resection of large masses may be difficult, having a risk of recurrence, promising results shown by laparoscopic approach makes it an ideal choice of approach. In our case as CT showed a very large cystic mass occupying the whole right hemiabdomen, decision to do laparotomy was made based on anticipated technical challenges.…”

Abdominal cystic lymphangioma is a rare benign tumour in children. It is often difficult to diagnosis pre-operatively due to a varied spectrum of symptoms. We report a case of a male infant who presented with gross bilateral inguinoscrotal swelling. Provisional diagnosis of congenital communicating hydrocele was made and investigation revealed a large abdominal cyst. Patient underwent explorative laparotomy and the cyst arising from greater omentum, extending into bilateral scrotum, was excised and bilateral herniotomy done. Mass was confirmed to be lymphangioma on biopsy. This case is unique as an abdominal lymphangioma presented solely as inguinoscrotal swelling, with no abdominal symptom. To our knowledge, this is the first case of omental cystic lymphangioma involving both inguinoscrotal regions. Our case suggests that abdominal cystic lymphangioma should be a part of the differential diagnosis in any child with gross inguinoscrotal swelling in whom initial impression is of communicating hydrocele. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.40.5.8255 How to cite this: Viqar S, Chandni, Chaudhary MA.

“…Complete surgical excision is often difficult due to anatomical complexity since LMs do not usually respect fascial planes, so that surgery frequently leads to incomplete removal, which is burdened with high recurrence rate [27] . Therefore, resection is mostly reserved for small, well-localized LMs that can be resected in full, as well as symptomatic microcystic LMs or symptomatic macrocystic/combined LMs already treated with sclerotherapy [28] .…”

Intrabdominal lymphatic malformations are rare benign congenital vascular anomalies that account for less than 5% of benign masses in childhood, with an extremely variable clinical presentation. For this reason, although their radiological appearance is usually typical, diagnosis can be challenging and not always immediate. This report describes a unique case of extensive solitary hepatic lymphatic malformation in a 10-year-old boy with both extra- and intraparenchymal development with no associated symptoms. A literature review of reported cases of solitary hepatic lymphatic malformation is also included.
