| description | Abdominal cystic lymphangioma is a rare, benign, congenital
tumor. It is an developmental abnormality of the lymphatic system.
Males are relatively more affected and 90% of the cases are under
5 years of age. Multilocular cystic lesion with septations is seen on
abdominal ultrasonography. As echogenicity can vary depending
on the content of the cyst like cellular debris, hemorrhage or
chylous, liquid-liquid or fat-liquid levels can be observed. Definitive
treatment is total excision. Cyst aspiration is not an effective method
and nearly always ends with recurrence. Computerized tomography
and magnetic resonance imaging findings of sonographically
detected retroperitoneal cystic lymphangioma in a newborn girl
with abdominal distention are discussed in this paper. (The Medical
Bulletin of Haseki 2010; 48: 47-9) |
