A cystic lymphangioma arising within the abdomen is a rare entity in children. It may present with an abdominal mass and symptoms of abdominal pain, vomiting, and anorexia. These nonspecific clinical symptoms are often attributed to more common acute pediatric conditions. In this report, we describe two pediatric cases of intra-abdominal cystic lymphangioma that were initially diagnosed and treated as appendicitis. True diagnosis was only achieved on surgical excision and pathological investigation of cystic material.
腹腔内出现的囊性淋巴管瘤在儿童中是一种罕见的病症。它可能表现为腹部肿块以及腹痛、呕吐和厌食等症状。这些非特异性的临床症状常常被归因于更常见的小儿急性病症。在本报告中，我们描述了两例最初被诊断并当作阑尾炎治疗的小儿腹腔内囊性淋巴管瘤病例。只有通过对囊性物质进行手术切除和病理检查才能做出准确诊断。
