The intrascrotal localization of lymphangioma in children is uncommon, especially when the lymphangioma does not depend on testicular structures. We present the case of a 13-year-old male who started with a right intrascrotal mass unconnected with the testicle, clinically and ultrasonically compatible with cystic lymphangioma. The mass was excised because of progressive growth over the previous 5 months, and at surgery a scrotal lymphangioma was disclosed projecting towards the umbilical area through the subcutaneous cell tissue of the anterior abdominal wall. There have been no complications or recurrences to date, 6 months afterwards. Surgical removal is the only efficacious therapeutic approach and is the best way to achieve a definitive diagnosis in these patients.

The best anaesthetic levels were obtained with 2 % isoflurane and local anaesthesia. The surgical procedure demonstrated its usefulness in achieving urinary continence in all rabbits, although an initial self-limited period of incontinence was common. No histologic alterations were detected, but a significant increase in the levels of urea and creatinine in blood was identified, most likely reflecting an obstructive uropathy.
