Splenic lymphangiomas are an extremely rare entity that is mainly diagnosed in children. They are often found in the neck and axilla region. Cystic lymphangioma in the abdomen is unusual and the spleen is an exceptional location for lymphangiomas.
We report a case of a 73 - year - old woman who presented with abdominal pain in the left upper quadrant for a month. Abdominal imaging studies show multiple splenic cysts. Splenectomy was performed and the specimen was sent for histopathologic examination. Microscopic inspection revealed splenic lymphangioma.
Splenic lymphangiomas are uncommon lesions. Most cases have been reported in children. The head, neck, and axillary regions are the most common sites, whereas lymphangioma in the spleen is exceptional.
Splenic lymphangiomas are uncommon benign tumors that are rarely seen during adulthood. Splenectomy is the preferred treatment.
脾淋巴管瘤是一种极其罕见的疾病,主要在儿童中被诊断出来。它们常出现在颈部和腋窝区域。腹部的囊性淋巴管瘤并不常见,而脾脏是淋巴管瘤的一个特殊发病部位。
我们报告一例73岁女性患者,她左上腹疼痛一个月。腹部影像学检查显示多个脾囊肿。进行了脾切除术,并将标本送去做组织病理学检查。显微镜检查显示为脾淋巴管瘤。
脾淋巴管瘤是不常见的病变。大多数病例报告见于儿童。头、颈和腋窝区域是最常见的部位,而脾脏的淋巴管瘤则很特殊。
脾淋巴管瘤是不常见的良性肿瘤,在成年期很少见。脾切除术是首选的治疗方法。
