Lymphangioma of the upper extremity is rare; its treatment is unstandardized. We reviewed five female and one male patient with cavernous lymphangioma of the hand and forearm. Each of them underwent at least one surgical procedure. Five patients had satisfactory results with cosmesis and hand function. Satisfactory results are expected in those treated initially in early childhood, as most lymphangiomas tend to increase gradually in size and infiltrate previously uninvolved normal tissues.

Article Synopsis
- * A case study of a 54-year-old woman with chronic left upper quadrant pain led to the discovery of a 3.9 cm non-vascular splenic mass, confirmed as cystic lymphangioma through imaging and requiring laparoscopic splenectomy for symptomatic relief.
- * Though rare in adults, splenic cystic lymphangiomas can necessitate surgery if symptomatic, with imaging being crucial for diagnosis, and laparoscopic splenectomy being the preferred treatment due to its effectiveness and safety.

Introduction And Importance: Lymphangiomas are rare benign lymphatic malformations, typically affecting the head, neck, or axillary regions, with abdominal cystic lymphatic malformations (CLM) being particularly uncommon in adults. Abdominal CLM account for less than 5 % of all lymphangiomas and 7 % of all abdominal cystic lesions in adults with a prevalence of approximately 1 in 250,000. These lesions are commonly found by accident during imaging investigations and are asymptomatic.

Generalized lymphatic anomaly (GLA), previously known as lymphangiomatosis, is a rare developmental disease characterized by abnormal proliferation of lymphatic vascular structures that may involve the dermis, soft tissue, bone, and visceral parenchyma. Being an uncommon condition and the lack of specific symptoms often result in a delayed diagnosis or even misdiagnosis, which, in addition to its progressive nature, can lead to dysfunction of vital organs, and ultimately, a poor prognosis. In this report, we present a unique case of GLA in an upper Egyptian female child.

The increasing number of endoscopic explorations help recognize rare lesions of the gastrointestinal tract, such as lymphangiomas, rare benign vascular tumours in adults. Patients with lymphangioma are generally asymptomatic but if complications arise, the approach is endoscopic or surgical. Endoscopic ultrasound aids in distinguishing this tumour from other subepithelial lesions.
