  • Title: [Cystic lymphangioma of the pancreas: an exceptional location].

    Abstract:
    Cystic lymphangioma of the pancreas is a rare benign vascular tumor. Its histogenesis is still hypothetical and preoperative diagnosis is difficult. We report a new case in a 14-year-old girl hospitalized for pain in the epigastrium and vomiting. Radiologic findings concluded in a cystic tumor of the head of the pancreas. The mass was completely excised. The pathological examination of the surgical specimen revealed cystic formations whose wall consisted of a squamous endothelial epithelium on a fibrous tissue and a few scattered lymphoid clusters, arguing in favor of a cystic lymphangioma.
