The present case report describes the incidental discovery of cecal lymphangioma, a rare benign neoplasm originating from malformations of lymphatic vessels. Lymphangiomas are uncommon in the gastrointestinal tract, and their presence in the colon is particularly unusual. This finding adds to the limited literature on colonic lymphangiomas and emphasizes recognizing these unusual lesions. Further research is needed to understand better their clinical characteristics, potential complications, and optimal management strategies, especially in atypical locations such as the colon.
本病例报告描述了盲肠淋巴管瘤的偶然发现，这是一种起源于淋巴管畸形的罕见良性肿瘤。淋巴管瘤在胃肠道中并不常见，其在结肠中的出现尤其罕见。这一发现增加了关于结肠淋巴管瘤的有限文献，并强调了识别这些不寻常病变的重要性。需要进一步研究以更好地了解其临床特征、潜在并发症和最佳管理策略，尤其是在结肠等非典型部位。
