Abstract
AIM: To analyze the clinical manifestations, imaging features, diagnosis and treatment of abdominal lymphangioma.
METHODS: Clinical data for 18 patients with abdominal lymphangioma who received treatment at our hospital from January 2008 to December 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.
RESULTS: Most of the tumors had clear boundaries and were round, oval or lobulated. All patients with tumors ranging from 7 to 19 cm underwent operation. Pathological analysis showed that the tumor was composed of irregular and expanded lymphatic vessels. Postoperative recovery was good in all patients, and no recurrence occurred.
CONCLUSION: Abdominal lymphangioma is a rare clinical abdominal disease, whose diagnosis relies on preoperative comprehensive physical and imaging examinations. The prognosis for abdominal lymphangioma treated by surgery is good.
