“…Diagnosis usually depends on the location of the lesion: superficial lesions are visible and therefore diagnosed earlier since may come to attention as abdominal palpable lump. Deeper LMs might present later, either incidentally, or due to associated symptoms as abdominal pain or complications such as intestinal obstruction, hemorrhage and peritonitis caused by cysts infection [ 3 , 4 , 10 , 15 ].…”

“…An extensive review of the literature identified 23 cases of solitary hepatic lymphatic malformations from 1994 to 2020 (13 males and 10 females), with an age range from 22 days to 75 years [ 15 , [29] , [30] , [31] , [32] , [33] , [34] , [35] , [36] , [37] , [38] , [39] , [40] , [41] , [42] , [43] , [44] , [45] , [46] , [47] , [48] , [49] ]. According to our review, the management of symptomatic LMs of the liver is still predominantly based on surgical resection [ 15 , [29] , [30] , [31] , [32] , [33] , [34] , [35] , [36] , 38 , 40 , [43] , [44] , [45] , [46] , [47] , [48] , [49] ]. This can be explained by the fact that the cases described concerned LMs with well-defined profiles and sufficiently distant from vascular or nerve structures, for which surgical approach could guarantee a complete resection and important neurovascular structures sparing.…”

Intrabdominal lymphatic malformations are rare benign congenital vascular anomalies that account for less than 5% of benign masses in childhood, with an extremely variable clinical presentation. For this reason, although their radiological appearance is usually typical, diagnosis can be challenging and not always immediate. This report describes a unique case of extensive solitary hepatic lymphatic malformation in a 10-year-old boy with both extra- and intraparenchymal development with no associated symptoms. A literature review of reported cases of solitary hepatic lymphatic malformation is also included.

Lymphangiomas are benign neoplasms regarded as congenital malformations of the lymphatic system, composed of dilated endothelial lined spaces of varying sizes containing lymph. Most lymphangiomas (95%) are located in the neck or the axilla. Intra -abdominal cases account for less than 5% of all lymphangiomas, mainly mesenteric or retroperitoneal. Here we have a rare case of hepatic lymphangioma, which presented as an intra-abdominal mass and diagnosed to be congenital hepatic cyst or off-centered mesenteric cyst in NCCT and USG respectively, which was then confirmed to be arising from the liver intraoperatively. Microscopy showed multiple cystic spaces lined by flattened epithelium, for which the differential diagnosis of simple mesothelial cyst and lymphangioma was offered, which was then confirmed by IHC which showed D2-40 positivity and Calretinin negativity. Hepatic lymphangioma which was difficult to be diagnosed definitively prior to surgery. Here, morphological study and IHC turned out to be useful in arriving at definitive diagnosis.

Introducción. Las malformaciones linfáticas quísticas, también llamadas linfangiomas quísticos, aparecen muy raramente de forma aislada en el hígado. Casos clínicos. Se presentan dos pacientes femeninas de edad preescolar con marcada hepatomegalia, dependiente de lesiones quísticas multitabicadas, secundarias a malformación linfática quística gigante del hígado, que fueron tratadas en el Hospital Pediátrico Universitario William Soler, La Habana, Cuba. Resultados. En ambos casos el diagnóstico se apoyó en los estudios de imágenes, la laparoscopia y el análisis histopatológico. En un caso el tratamiento fue la hepatectomía derecha, mientras que en el otro se empleó la escleroterapia, ambas con evolución favorable. Conclusión. A pesar de su rareza, este diagnóstico no debe obviarse ante un paciente pediátrico con lesiones hepáticas quísticas. El tratamiento de elección es la resección quirúrgica, pero su indicación y envergadura debe valorarse de forma individualizada.
