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.

Article Synopsis
  • Lymphangiomas are benign tumors usually found in children, but rare cases in adults, particularly in the colon, can lead to complications like intestinal blockage (intussusception).
  • A 40-year-old woman experienced severe abdominal pain and was diagnosed with ileocecal intussusception due to a cecal lymphangioma, leading to emergency surgery.
  • During laparoscopic surgery, a cystic mass was found to be a non-malignant cecal lymphangioma; the patient recovered without complications and highlights the need to consider colonic intussusception in adult lymphangioma cases.
