  • Title: Solitary hepatic lymphangioma. A rare benign tumour: a case report.
    Author: Stavropoulos M, Vagianos C, Scopa CD, Dragotis C, Androulakis J.
    Journal: HPB Surg; 1994; 8(1):33-6. PubMed ID: 7993862.
    Abstract:
    Hepatic lymphangiomas are extremely rare; moreover cystic lymphangiomas usually arise in areas such as the neck and axilla, where loose connective tissue allows the expansion of lymphatic channels. The case of a 65-year old male is described, who presented with a solitary lymphangioma in the liver. The lesion was discovered incidentally and due to diagnostic uncertainty was removed surgically. A short review of histology, clinical presentation and preoperative diagnostic difficulties of hepatic lymphangiomas is given.
