A lymphangioma is a benign proliferation of lymph vessels, producing fluid-filled cysts that result from a blockage of the lymphatic system. The incidence of abdominal lymphangiomas is unknown; however they account for from 3% to 9.2% of all pediatric lymphangiomas, with retroperitoneal lymphangioma representing less than 1% of abdominal lymphangiomas. Due to rarity, preoperative diagnosis is often difficult.
淋巴管瘤是淋巴管的良性增殖,产生因淋巴系统阻塞而形成的充满液体的囊肿。腹部淋巴管瘤的发病率尚不清楚;然而,它们占所有小儿淋巴管瘤的3%至9.2%,其中腹膜后淋巴管瘤占腹部淋巴管瘤的比例不到1%。由于其罕见性,术前诊断往往很困难。
