Pancreatic Cystic Lymphangioma: Case Report and Literature Review

Abstract

Lymphangiomas are rare, benign tumors of the lymphatic system. They are formed through congenital malformation leading to lymphangiectasias. Thus, lymphangiomas are mostly seen in children and infants. Lymphangiomas are a benign lesion, therefore, if the patient is asymptomatic and the lesion is stable, complete surgical resection is not required and imaging surveillance is the preferred method of follow-up. This study reports a rare presentation of lymphangioma in the pancreas.
