Three patients with intra-abdominal lymphangiectatic cysts, with details of their clinical radiologic, and pathologic findings, provide examples of the diverse and confusing clinical manifestations of this uncommon lesion. Their diversity is largely the result of their variable size and location within the mesentery, omentum, or mesocolon. Radiologic examination provides the greatest aid in preoperative diagnosis, and is useful in differentiation from ascites and other abdominal lesions. The characteristic histologic appearance of lymphangiectatic cysts provides their ultimate classification.
三名患有腹腔内淋巴管扩张性囊肿的患者，及其临床、放射学和病理学检查结果的详细信息，为这种罕见病变多样且令人困惑的临床表现提供了实例。其多样性很大程度上源于囊肿在肠系膜、大网膜或结肠系膜内大小和位置的不同。放射学检查对术前诊断帮助最大，有助于与腹水及其他腹部病变相鉴别。淋巴管扩张性囊肿的特征性组织学表现决定了其最终分类。
