Intra-abdominal lymphangiomas are rare benign tumours that can cause various symptoms, mainly during childhood. They are diagnosed by ultrasonography, CT scanning or at laparotomy; ultrasonographic examination often shows a voluminous tumoral cystic formation with septa. The location of the cyst may be determined either by ultrasonography alone or by CT scanning. The definitive histological diagnosis is confirmed by immunohistochemical staining techniques. Rarely intra-abdominal lymphangiomas can occur in the abdominal wall. Complete resection is the treatment of choice. The case of a 2-year-old-boy with a large lymphangioma involving the lower half of the abdominal wall is reported. The patient underwent the complete removal of lymphangioma with good cosmetic result.
腹腔内淋巴管瘤是罕见的良性肿瘤，主要在儿童期可引起各种症状。它们通过超声检查、CT扫描或剖腹手术诊断；超声检查常显示有分隔的巨大肿瘤性囊性结构。囊肿的位置可单独通过超声检查或CT扫描确定。最终的组织学诊断通过免疫组化染色技术得以证实。腹腔内淋巴管瘤很少发生于腹壁。完整切除是首选的治疗方法。本文报道了一名2岁男孩患有累及腹壁下半部的巨大淋巴管瘤的病例。该患者接受了淋巴管瘤的完整切除，美容效果良好。
