  • Title: Laparoscopic splenectomy for a lymphangioma of the spleen: report of a case.
    Author: Kwon AH, Inui H, Tsuji K, Takai S, Imamura A, Kamiyama Y.
    Journal: Surg Today; 2001; 31(3):258-61. PubMed ID: 11318134.
    Abstract:
    We present the first case report of a successful laparoscopic complete excision of a splenic lymphangioma. The splenic tumor was preoperatively diagnosed to be a lymphangioma by the combined modalities of ultrasonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and angiography. A laparoscopic splenectomy was subsequently performed and the pathological examination of the mass confirmed the diagnosis of a lymphangioma. Based on the above findings, a laparoscopic splenectomy is recommended when a splenic tumor is suspected to be either benign or borderline.
