“…5 In most cases, ultrasound is the procedure of choice but computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging scans are essential for planning the surgical procedure, and a scan can better define the relations of the cyst with the surrounding structure, especially the abdominal major blood vessels. 1,6 When the diagnosis is uncertain, celioscopy can help through a biopsy, and it can be used to plan a correct excision when the origin of the lesion is not clear, as in our case. The laparoscopic approach allowed us to define the origin of the cyst and to perform a complete excision without any residual.…”

“…The size of the lesion does not matter because the cystic fluid can be aspirated to increase the working space. 1,6 Even if the number of reports on laparoscopic management of abdominal cystic lymphangioma in children is quite limited, and most of them reported isolated cases or small series, the literature shows that this procedure is safe with no perioperative complications or mortality. 6 -8 The recurrence rate does not appear to be related to the type of surgical approach.…”
