Lymphangioma of the pancreas is a rare benign tumor of lymphatic origin. Retroperitoneal lymphangiomas account for 1% of all lymphangiomas. Herein, we report a case of cystic pancreatic lymphangioma diagnosed in 34 year-old female patient who was hospitalized for a slight pain in the epigastrium and vomiting. Radiological imaging revealed a large multiloculated cystic abdominal mass with enhancing septations involving the upper retroperitoneum. During the laparoscopic surgery, a well circumscribed polycystic tumor was completely excised preserving the pancreatic duct. The patient made a complete recovery and is disease-free 12 months postoperatively.
胰腺淋巴管瘤是一种罕见的起源于淋巴管的良性肿瘤。腹膜后淋巴管瘤占所有淋巴管瘤的1%。在此，我们报告一例34岁女性囊性胰腺淋巴管瘤病例，该患者因上腹部轻微疼痛和呕吐入院。影像学检查显示上腹部有一个大的多房囊性肿块，伴有强化的分隔，累及上腹膜后间隙。在腹腔镜手术中，一个边界清晰的多囊性肿瘤被完整切除，同时保留了胰管。患者完全康复，术后12个月无疾病复发。
