“…Although the typical ultrasonography or computed tomography feature of hepatic lymphangioma is a cystic or multicystic hepatic mass with internal septations, the accurate preoperative diagnosis of hepatic lymphangioma is difficult because the these findings can be confused with other cystic tumors such as bile duct cysts, and biliary cystadenomas and cystadenocarcinomas. 7 8 Although we could not perform magnetic resonance imaging in our hospital, it may also help with the diagnosis of lymphangioma, and usually shows a multi-lobulated heterogeneous mass with low signal intensity on T1-weighted images and high signal intensity on T2-weighted images. 8 …”

A hepatic lymphangioma is a rare benign neoplasm that is usually associated with systemic lymphangiomatosis. A solitary hepatic lymphangioma is extremely rare. Therefore, we present a rare case of a female patient who underwent right hepatectomy for solitary giant hepatic lymphangioma. A 42-year-old female presented to the emergency department with complaint of severe abdominal pain of the right upper quadrant. Abdominal computed tomography showed an approximately 23×30-cm sized, giant, relatively well-defined, homogenous cystic mass with few septa in the right liver (segments VII and VIII). The preoperative diagnosis was a giant hepatic cystadenoma or cystadenocarcinoma. We performed right hepatectomy. The permanent histopathological report revealed cystic lymphangioma of the liver. Although the prognosis of solitary hepatic lymphangioma after surgical resection is favorable, recurrence has been reported in literature.

“…[ 11 12 13 14 ] Some existing research states that mesenteric lymphangioma occurs more frequently than retroperitoneal,[ 15 ] although, in our study, retroperitoneal lymphangioma (48%) had a higher prevalence than did mesenteric lymphangioma (33%). Other possible abdominal sites for the tumor include the liver,[ 16 ] spleen,[ 17 ] kidney,[ 18 ] ligamentum hepatoduodenale,[ 6 ] gall bladder,[ 19 ] the falciform ligament,[ 20 ] and the omentum. [ 15 ] The true incidence of IL is obscure, and there appears to be no true on sex predilection.…”

Background:Intraperitoneal lymphangioma (IL) used to be thought of as a benign lymphatic malformation with a low rate of preoperative diagnosis. This retrospective study aimed to explore the connection between the cysts and clinical manifestation and imaging characteristics, and to study diagnostic confusion, therapeutic principles and potential recurrent reasons, to further enhance the comprehension of this rare disease.Methods:Here, we retrospectively reviewed 21 patients diagnosed with IL. Age, sex, complaints, physical findings, and imaging features of each patient were documented. The therapies, postoperative complications and treatments were discussed.Results:Symptomatology included eight patients (38%) with intermittent dull pain in the abdomen, and three patients (14%) complained of abdominal persistent pain. The physical examination revealed an abdominal mass in 16 patients (76%), and eight (38%) were reported no discomfort. IL was correctly established preoperatively in 19 patients (90%). Patients were treated using laparotomy, except one who was treated with laparoscopy. Two recurrences were noted during follow-up.Conclusions:IL should be suspected in any patient with a mobile abdominal mass and surgery is required immediately after discovery of the tumor.

“…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] ].…”

“…Only in one case first line treatment was aspiration of the cystic mass, which however was followed by lesion recurrence after two months, requiring laparotomy and formal resection [37] . Four cases of solitary hepatic LM were asymptomatic, and a conservative approach was adopted in 3 cases after a diagnostic biopsy [ 39 , 41 , 42 ]; in one case surgical resection was performed even if the patient had no clinical symptoms, since the lesion didn't show radiological typical features and the hypothesis of malignancy could not be excluded [47] .…”

Extensive solitary lymphatic malformation of the liver in a child: a case report and literature review

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.
