  • Title: Intra-abdominal lymphangioma.
    Author: Schmidt M.
    Journal: Kans Med; 1992 May; 93(5):149-50. PubMed ID: 1619838.
    Abstract:
    Intra-abdominal lymphangiomas are rare occurrences. Of the few cases reported, most are in infants or young children. This case was in a 13-year-old boy with no previous history of problems. The etiology is probably a primary malformation of the lymphatics, which may cause blockage or inflammatory responses and subsequent enlargement of the lymphatic channels. Clinically, the patient presents with features typical of a space-occupying lesion, as in this case. This patient presented with symptoms of an obstruction or pressure from the growing mass. In diagnosis, a sonogram or CT scan is helpful. The recommended treatment is complete excision, if possible.
