Am J Surg. 2006 May;191(5):706-7. doi: 10.1016/j.amjsurg.2005.07.039.

Abstract

Cystic lymphangioma is an uncommon intra-abdominal lesion that is an occasional incidental finding. We report herein the case of a 27-year-old woman with a 3-year history of abdominal pain due to a large intra-abdominal cystic lymphangioma. The lesion was removed surgically with a complete resection that is the optimal treatment with excellent prognosis.
