Abstract

Abdominal cystic lymphangiomas are rare congenital benign malformations of the lymphatic system. To the best of our knowledge, only 6 mesenteric calcified cystic lymphangiomas have ever been reported. We herein describe a woman who presented to our hospital with stomachache that had been continuous for approximately 8 months. An abdominal computed tomography showed a cystic lesion. In the exploration, the cyst was totally excised. Based on the histomorphological data, a case of “calcified cystic lymphangioma” was diagnosed. Although mesenteric lymphangiomas are rare, especially in adults, they should be considered as a possible cause of abdominal pain. Treatment is surgical with resection of the mass, sometimes including resection of adjacent bowel.

Özet

Abdominal kistik lenfanjiomlar, lenfatik sistemin benign kistik malformasyonlarıdır. Bildiğimiz kadarıyla literatürde şu ana kadar altı tane kalsifiye kistik lenfanjiom olgusu bildirilmiştir. Biz yaklaşık sekiz aydır mide ağrısı şikayeti ile başvuran bir bayan hastayı sunacağız. Hastanın abdominal bilgisayarlı tomografisinde kistik lezyon izlenmişti. Eksplorasyonda kist total olarak eksize edildi. Spesmenin histopatolojik değerlendirilmesinde kalsifiye kistik lenfanjiom olduğu tespit edildi. Erişkinlerde çok nadir görülmesine rağmen, karın ağrısı şikayeti nedeni olarak mezenterik lenfanjiomalar akılda tutulmalıdır. Tedavide kistin total eksizyonu uygulanır. Bazen komşu dokularda birlikte eksize edilebilir.
