Article Abstract

Among intraabdominal lymphangiomas, colonic lymphangiomas are rare. These cystic tumors are generally asymptomatic and incidentally found but may present with bleeding or obstructive symptoms. Intussusception by such tumors is scarcely reported, with only nine previously reported cases listed in Pubmed. We report a case of a 41-year-old female Asian patient who presented with acute abdomen and was diagnosed with colonic intussusception caused by lymphangioma. She received emergent right hemicolectomy, recovered well without complications, and was discharged on the 5th postoperative day.

Background/objectives: Cystic hygroma is a congenital lymphatic malformation often identified during early pregnancy and frequently associated with chromosomal abnormalities and adverse outcomes. We aimed to appraise the genetic and clinical characteristics of fetuses diagnosed with cystic hygroma in the first/early second trimester, assess the resolution patterns in chromosomally normal cases, and provide insights into prognosis-based on data collected over a 30-year period.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 405 consecutive fetuses diagnosed with nuchal cystic hygroma between 8.

Pancreatic lymphangiomas are extremely rare benign cystic lesions of the pancreas, with fewer than 100 cases reported in the literature. They can mimic other cystic pancreatic neoplasms, posing a diagnostic challenge. This case adds to the limited literature and supports conservative management as a safe option in selected patients.
