Mediastinal lymphangiomas are rare benign tumors arising from lymphatic system malformations, most commonly seen in pediatric populations. In adults, they are exceedingly rare and present diagnostic challenges due to nonspecific symptoms and imaging overlap with other mediastinal masses. Diagnosis is typically based on imaging, including CT and MRI, with histopathology confirming the diagnosis.

Background: Generalized lymphatic anomaly (GLA) is a rare congenital lymphatic malformation (LM) characterized by multiple infiltrating lymphangiomas in various tissues. Owing to its rarity, information on this disease is obtained mainly through case reports, leading to delayed diagnosis. In this study, we reported a case of generalized lymphatic anomaly in a pediatric patient manifesting as hemorrhagic pleural effusion.

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: While laparoscopic splenectomy (LS) has been widely used in benign splenic tumor, more concerns have been raised for postoperatively short-term and long-term complications. Laparoscopic partial splenectomy (LPS) is a surgical option, to preserve splenic function, and reduce postoperative complications. The aim of our study was to retrospectively identify the safety and feasibility of LPS compared with LS in patients with splenic benign tumor.

Article Synopsis
- - Benign tumors of the spleen are extremely rare, making up less than 0.007% of all tumors, with splenolymphangiomas being particularly uncommon and often diagnosed in children.
- - A case study of a 58-year-old woman revealed an isolated splenic lymphangioma found during a routine checkup, which was successfully treated with laparoscopic splenectomy, showing no postoperative complications.
- - The study emphasizes the need for early surgical intervention for large splenic lymphangiomas to prevent complications like bleeding, and suggests that laparoscopic procedures are a safe option for experienced surgeons.
