- Abstract
Abdominal lymphangiomas are benign malformations of the lymphatic system. The diagnosis is established due to patient's clinical manifestations associated with imaging. The clinical presentation of cystic lymphangiomas is much variable and depends on the symptoms, mostly caused by the abdominal mass, it's size and location. It is accepted that the incidence of mesenteric cysts in the american population is somehow between 1:100.000 and 1:250.000, causing hospital admissions. Surgical treatment, in most cases, has good prognosis. This procedure is followed by the necessary resection, biopsy and cytology of the mass.
