“…Solitary hepatic lymphangioma is an extremely rare tumor, and only 8 cases, including the one presented here, have so far been reported in the English literature [7][8][9][10][11][12] (Table 1). Four cases in children were accompanied by acute symptoms, and each tumor was very large (average diameter about 17 cm).…”

A 52-year-old woman presented with upper abdominal pain. Abdominal ultrasonography showed a 4-cm well-defined mass containing solid and cystic components in segment IV of the liver, and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging revealed heterogeneous enhancement within the tumor, indicating a solid or fibrous component. There were no cystic lesions in any other organs. A partial hepatectomy was performed, based on a preoperative diagnosis of sclerosing hemangioma and biliary cystadenoma or cystadenocarcinoma. Pathologically, the tumor appeared to be a multilocular and cystic lesion lined by attenuated endothelial- like cells with no atypia. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated the endothelial-like cells to be positive for the lymphatic-specific markers D2-40, LYVE-1, and Prox-1, which proved helpful for confirming the diagnosis as solitary hepatic lymphangioma. This case is presented with details of the pathologic and radiologic findings, because solitary hepatic lymphangioma is an extremely rare tumor and no previous reports have provided details of the immunohistochemical characteristics.

“…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.

“…There is no invasion of the main hepatic vessels and no dilation of the intra-or extra-hepatic ducts. Hepatic lymphangioma is an extremely rare benign disease (with only 1 reported case in infants) [1] . It is usually associated with lymphangiomas of other viscera.…”
