Cystic lymphangiomas are benign colonic neoplasms arising from the submucosa. Traditionally, endoscopic resection has been described for smaller lesions, while surgery is reserved for larger symptomatic lesions. We present a case of a 69-year-old asymptomatic individual noted to have a cystic lymphangioma of the colon measuring 5 cm, which was successfully removed with endoloop endoscopic resection without any complications.
囊性淋巴管瘤是起源于黏膜下层的良性结肠肿瘤。传统上,较小的病变采用内镜下切除,而较大的有症状病变则采用手术治疗。我们报告一例69岁无症状患者,其结肠有一个5厘米的囊性淋巴管瘤,通过内镜圈套器成功切除,无任何并发症。
