“…16,17 Paracentesis in these settings carries increased peritoneal risks and complications. 18,19 Imaging studies (ultrasound, CT scanning, and/or magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]), therefore, are important for establishing the diagnosis and, in addition, may reveal additional findings, such as the presence of a displaced bowel, fluid levels, or a pseudocyst with clear borders (sometimes with endocystic partitions and vegetations).…”

Background: Articles on giant ovarian cysts have become less common in medical literature. These cysts mimic ascites, presenting with abdominal distension and shifting dullness. They are predominantly serous and mucinous cystadenomas. Rare cases of low-grade of malignant tumors and adenocarcinomatous ovarian cysts have been reported. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective descriptive study of 5 cases recruited between 2009 and 2012. The selected patients had large ovarian cysts extending to the epigastric region. Solid, mixed, or predominantly solid ovarian cysts were excluded from the study. Results: The mean age of the patients was 28, with extremes of ages 22 and 39. Ascites was detected clinically with transabdominal fluid thrills in all cases. Cysts were unilocular in 4 cases and multilocular in 1 case. Oophorectomy and salpingectomy were performed without preoperative drainage. Histology testing showed serous cystadenoma in 4 cases and mucinous low-grade adenocarcinoma in 1 case. The average follow-up time was 54 months. No recurrences were observed. Conclusions: Imaging (ultrasound, computed tomography, and/or magnetic resonance imaging) is paramount for planning management of giant ovarian cysts as imaging facilitates the distinction between ascites and pseudoascites as well as the identification of any suspicious features of malignancy (multiple partitions, and endo-or exocystic vegetations). Complete excision without opening the cyst is the procedure of choice. ( J GYNECOL SURG 32:162)

ResumoO linfangioma é uma patologia relativamente freqüente na criança. A localização abdominal é, entretanto, rara. Sua forma de apresentação e suas manifestações clínicas variam muito, sendo confundida com outras patologias abdominais. A ultrasonografia pode fazer o diagnóstico na maioria dos casos. O tratamento é cirúrgico e o prognóstico é, em geral, bom.Os autores mostram a experiência em oito casos ao longo de quinze anos, tratados cirurgicamente e com bons resultados em sete casos e um óbito tardio. AbstractLymphangioma is a common pathology in children, however intra-abdominal cystic lymphangioma is rare. Morphology and clinical symptoms are variable and can be mixed up with other ethiology. Ultrasound can make the diagnosis in the majority of the cases. Surgery is the best choice of treatment and prognosis is in general good.Authors present eight cases in a period of fifteen years, all of them treated surgically. Results were good in seven cases. One late death was observed.
